Besouro...If we are to be a better people we must be a better people



I watched this movie semiconscious because of how deeply it touched me.  I encourage anyone who has not seen it to watch it immediately.  Outside the stunning effects and imagery the depth of it is unmatched.  I encourage you to be open to truths of the universe and cosmic understandings.  It is essentially a story of self discovery on the part of several characters and initiation on the part of others.
I feel deeply about this because it not only depicts our collective struggle of internal and external revolution but it very personally reminds me of some of my initiations.  It subtly addresses colorism, classism, racism, sexism, negroism (you can use that), seasoning, slave mentality and many others issues that play a major yet underlining role in our society and psyche to this day... while highlighting our traditional beliefs, customs and practices.
Hell you could watch just the trailer and be moved into deeper thought.
If we are to be a better people we must be a better people!!!!!
Please feel Free to share Your thoughts, feelings, understandings, epiphanies, Self-discoveries etc

Beautiful! African Mystified and Spiritually incensed. I heard about this movie I guess when the trailer was first released and then it slipped my radar.

Thanks for the re-awakening. This has got to be viewed by the masses.
