Ándale!

2017 • 4 min • Brazil

It's a film about the world today, about the need for a revolution, an uprising of the masses against the exploiters, so that the financial system can be completely rethought. It's an anarchist vision of the chaos we need for this change to occur (because anarchism is not mess, it's mutual support and solidarity). Of course, in 4 minutes there's no way to theorize about something so complex, but given the inequalities of today we have to do something, even if it's a short 4-minute short that, perhaps, awakens the inner revolutionary of those who watch (or not ).
