Synopsis

FANI: Afro-Mineiro Festival in Itapecerica tells the story of a mother and daughter who transform a shared dream into a celebration of Afro-Brazilian culture. Through their personal journey, the documentary follows the creation of the Afro-Mineiro Festival in Itapecerica, Minas Gerais, revealing the challenges, emotions, and collective efforts behind an event dedicated to preserving memory, strengthening identity, and promoting racial awareness. As the festival comes to life through music, dance, art, and community participation, the film explores how family bonds, resilience, and cultural heritage can inspire social transformation. More than documenting a festival, FANI is a tribute to ancestry, belonging, and the power of ordinary people to create lasting cultural change.
