Virtual Screenings and Special Panel Discussion We are pleased to announce our fifth event this year, which features
the documentary film
Denying Brazil
(2000). Based on extensive research and personal experiences, this film explores
the history, taboos, stereotypes, and struggles of Black actors in Brazilian soap operas, analyzing the potential impacts of these televised serials
on the identity-forming processes of Black people.

We look forward to engaging with you on Tuesday, Apr. 25, and we will continue to share the latest in the
series as events become available. Sincerely, Elliott Dawes, JD, LLM,
