I am Happy sheds light on the creative culture and humanity that resides in the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Through portraits of a graffiti artist, samba dancers, police officers and maids, this documentary focuses on how these individuals persevere and perceive happiness during economic and social hardship. Although deprived of wealth, opportunities, and even social mobility, happiness becomes a form of self-salvation that nobody can take away from these individuals.
1 hour 6 minute documentary by Soraya Umewaka.
Portuguese with English subtitles.
This documentary will be screening at the NY Int. Latino Film Festival, Rio International Film Festival and Festival Cinema Brasil in Tokyo.
Vibrant and enticing. Looking forward to seeing the documentary in Shibuya!
