Stained Glass Films. Art of Resistan

2024.

​

One of the new international documentaries, “The Art of Resistance,” was produced by Stained Glass Films, a student-run production group in the Social Justice Documentary course led by Hezekiah L. Lewis III, MFA, associate professor of Communication. During their two-week stay in Salvador, Brazil, students immersed themselves in Bahian culture where they learned about quilombos, communities established by those escaping slavery, and the importance of maintaining Afro-Brazilian culture. "Art of Resistance" shares how Quilombola leader, Rejane Rodrigues, is inspired by her ancestry and raises her daughter, Raquel, to carry on the tradition of preserving their heritage.
