Post 4 / ¨TV Shows and series ¨

hi !! I have a favorite series called xica da silva. I like it because the story of Xica da Silva existed she was a slave who assumes the role of the first black lady in the history of Brazil. Thanks to her natural charm and feminine cunning, she scandalized the religious, conservative, prejudiced and racist society of the time. the telenovela It was broadcast in Brazil in 1996 and finish in 1997. the plot takes place in the eighteenth century in Tijuco, when Brazil was still a colony of Portugal. the women of the series have a strong character, powerful and determined but they are divided by the patriarchy. also the historical context is horrible for women are things not people. We are the property of man and Xica is a free slave, she breaks with everything. I want to see the movie "Xica Da Silva" from 1976. some of the actors from the series (1996) star in the film.
