Flawed Beauty by Video journalist Giovana Vitola
A documentary about the modeling world in Brazil. It’s about how despite the fact that the majority of the population of Brazil is non-white, the modeling industry is majority white. Models like Gisele Bundchen and Alessandra Ambrosio are two of the most notable Brazilian models. However, Brazil has the second largest Black population on the planet, they are only outnumbered by Nigeria.
A quote from the video ” We still haven’t had a Brazilian beauty with a real Brazilian face”- Angela Peres, Model

Brazil rules in favor of marriage equality
Brazil’s Supreme Court yesterday ruled that a same-sex civil union can indeed become a marriage.
In a 4 - 1 vote, the highest federal court ruled that the Constitution “makes it possible for stable civil unions to become marriages”.
Indeed “sexual orientation should not serve as a pretext for excluding families from the legal protection that marriage represents”, the court said in a statement.The court ruled in favor of two women who tried to become legally married in Rio Grande do Sul state. While the state courts don’t have to follow the Supreme Court’s ruling, it will likely have some role in what the individual states do with same-sex civil unions and marriages.
Civil unions for same-sex couples in Brazil were legalized five months ago, and Argentina is the only country in Latin America that fully legalized same-sex marriages.
This is so great. Baby steps lead up to big changes, and we’re starting to see them.
still in love with the movie soundtrack. will be watching this movie again! :))
