Description

True to its title, this documentary proves a passionate and, at times humorous, exploration of the role of capoeira in the lives of its practitioners. The Brazilian martial art has touched the hearts of a growing number of people around the world, and in doing so has challenged preconceived notions of gender as women continue to take on important roles and gain international recognition.
