POWER ALLEY / LEVANTE
A film by Lillah Halla
(Brazil/Uruguay/France, 2023, 92 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles)
Starring Ayomi Domenica, Grace Passô, Rômulo Braga

Featured in the 2023 Cannes Film Festival Semaine de la Critique selection, Power Alley is a gripping and inspiring film that chronicles the relentless struggle of women of color for their rights and self-determination. Through the eyes of Sofia, a talented young Afro-Brazilian athlete, viewers witness the harsh reality of systemic discrimination, challenging the notion that merit alone guarantees success.

As Sofia battles to break the glass ceiling in the world of professional sports, her journey becomes a powerful narrative on the importance of autonomy and the resilience required to overcome societal barriers. This film emphasizes the right of women to control their own destiny and ultimately stands as a testament to empowerment and perseverance.
