Brazil My Soul

2028  ·  Feature Documentary  ·  In Production

A filmmaker returns to Salvador da Bahia after 38 years — to the city that transformed him in 1987 — to ask the question he has carried ever since. What is the Brazilian soul? 83 days across Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, the Northeast, and the ancient town of Cachoeira. Filming and participating, not observing from outside.

The film reaches its climax at the Festa da Boa Morte in Cachoeira — a 200-year-old festival led by the descendants of enslaved women. Music, ceremony, and the living heart of Afro-Brazilian culture.

About

Sensation Records Pty Ltd makes music documentary films. Not concert films, not music videos — films that go all the way inside a music culture and let audiences discover something extraordinary for themselves.

The music is always the heart of it. Cuba My Soul has a world-class live soundtrack recorded across two concerts in Havana. Brazil My Soul will do the same — capturing Afro-Brazilian rhythms, forró, samba de roda and the music of Candomblé from inside the culture.

When audiences watch Cuba My Soul they come out wanting to dance, wanting to go to Cuba, surprised by what they felt. That's the standard. Music that moves people. Culture that opens them up.

Director Craig Miller is a filmmaker and percussionist with nearly four decades inside Afro-Latin music. He studied Afro-Brazilian percussion in Salvador da Bahia in 1987–88. He doesn't just film these cultures — he lives inside them. We are open to co-production and distribution inquiries.
