I Have Faith

"I Have Faith" is a Brazilian feature-length documentary directed and written by Rian Córdova (Luana Muniz: Daughter of the Moon, Lorna Washington: Surviving Alleged Losses). The production follows the journey of artists who exalt and celebrate their ancestry and the orishas in their works. The documentary also serves as a manifesto against one of Brazil's major issues: religious racism. The film brings together stories of music, theater, fashion, dance, and visual arts to promote reflection on the power and importance of Black representation, art, and diversity. It features the participation of artists, academics, and religious figures such as Ivanir dos Santos, Rodney William, Luiz Simas, Helena Theodoro, Hugo Canuto, Rita Benneditto, Beto Neves, and Rodrigo França.
