Despite the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade in 1831, hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans continued to be taken to Brazil. Gilda Brasileiro discovered documents about an illegal slave-trading point in the Atlantic rainforest. None of the locals wanted to remember the past but this daughter of an Afro-Brazilian man and a Jewish woman found that unacceptable. A strong woman goes out in search of memory in the world largest coffee-growing region in the 19th century. (Pan African Film Festival)
