Researcher and professor of the Institute of Humanities, Arts and Sciences Professor Milton Santos (IHAC/UFBA) and the multidisciplinary Program of Post-Graduation in Culture and Society (Post-Culture), Felipe Milanez signs, together with documentary filmmaker Luiz Bolognesi, the script for the first episode of the documentary series “Wars of Brazil.Doc“, which debuted in June this year in the streaming service Netflix.
“The Wars of Conquest”, the title chosen for the episode, shows, according to the synopsis, how the wars generated by the invasion and colonization of Brazil for over 500 years are still alive today. Like the relations between Europeans who arrived here from 1500 onwards and the indigenous peoples, who had been living in these lands for thousands of years, they still reverberate in conflicts of the present day and which even occur at this moment. The indigenous leader, writer and environmentalist Ailton Krenak, anthropologists Carlos Fausto and João Pacheco de Oliveira, historian Pedro Luis Puntoni and indigenous leader Sônia Guajajara participate as interviewed. The series has five episodes in total, each lasting approximately 26 minutes.
