Henfil (2017)

What kind of country was this?

The documentary will reveal parallel narratives that present the life of the cartoonist and activist, Henrique de Souza. The film explores a movement of discovery of the character next to the young people from a class of animators who tries to bring the work of Henfil to the present days. In addition to the findings from friends' testimonies, revelations about how the artist used his drawings as a device to "dribble" political censorship and also as a resource for dealing with his fragile health, caused by hemophilia, and expose your creative restlessness.
