They share with us the intimacy and complexity of those who faced injustice and pain with humor and creativity, but also with organization and community. In the style of a documentary essay, the series is structured along four axes, each one starring one of them: they talk about carnival, affection, exile and organization, and through their personal experiences they open the door to understand the reality of an entire community.
