An essential speech for those who, independent of political stance or nationality, intend to better understand our country.”

The challenge is when a bigger integration with the country is needed because we are able to see how diverse is its population, not only because of a continental dimension but also because of its formation peculiarities. Watching Mariana Barros provided an understanding about brazilian culture’s subtleties, and made me look at the country in a deeper and more significant way. I am now more empathetic to the richness of diversity in this paradoxical and complex country that brought many wonderful meanings to my life.”
