Beat Is Protest: Funk from a Female Perspective

Directed by Mayara Efe

With Renata Prado, Juju ZL, Pabllo Vittar, Linn da Quebrada and Amanda Coelho

Who are the chicks that make up the funk movement, and where are they? Funk has always been a form of protest, just as being a woman is. BEAT IS PROTEST: FUNK FROM A FEMALE PERSPECTIVE depicts the last decade underground scene of the funk women protesters in São Paulo. The testimonies come from transgender and cisgender women who navigate this universe in different roles, such as singers, DJs, beat-makers, producers, entrepreneurs, rappers, and dancers, and also from drag queens.
