Since the late nineteenth century, Brazilians have turned to
documentaries to explain their country to themselves and to the
world. In a magisterial history covering one hundred years of
cinema, Darlene J. Sadlier identifies Brazilians' unique
contributions to a diverse genre while exploring how that genre
has, in turn, contributed to the making and remaking of Brazil. A
Century of Brazilian Documentary Film is a comprehensive tour of
feature and short films that have charted the social and political
story of modern Brazil. The Amazon appears repeatedly and vividly.
Sometimes-as in a prize-winning 1922 feature-the rainforest is a
galvanizing site of national pride; at other times, the Amazon has
been a focus for land-reform and Indigenous-rights activists. Other
key documentary themes include Brazil's swings from democracy to
dictatorship, tensions between cosmopolitanism and rurality, and
shifting attitudes toward race and gender. Sadlier also provides
critical perspectives on aesthetics and media technology, exploring
how documentaries inspired dramatic depictions of poverty and
migration in the country's Northeast and examining Brazilians'
participation in streaming platforms that have suddenly
democratized filmmaking.
