In My Skin

A doctor mistaken for a thief. A cleaning lady treated as a slave. A mother who lost her son murdered by the police. A Trans employee who is never promoted. What do these people have in common? Their skin color. A human and poetic documentary sewn together with various narrative threads – characters, music, slams and black intellectual thinking – that unveil the racism rooted in Brazilian society.
