We have found another fine documentary for you about Capoeira! Maré is the nickname of João, a 10 years old boy, who dreams to become a Capoeira Mestre like his father, to keep up with the family tradition connected through generations in his family. This movie is about love and war.
Maré é o apelido de João, um menino de dez anos que sonha ser mestre de capoeira como seu pai, dando continuidade a uma tradição familiar que atravessa várias gerações. Um filme de amor e guerra.

Thanks to Andreas Dietzel we have been informed about another great Capoeira Documentary. This time it is about Capoeira at the Al-Tanf Refugee Camp. In the no-man's land between the Iraqi-Syrian border Palestinian refugees were left stranded after the invasion of Iraq. This film is about the effect of capoeira on the people of the camp. Thanks to CapoeriArab for their hard work, UNICEF for sponsoring the project and Terre des Hommes Italy for their help implementing the project.
The film was created by CapoeirArab and the children of the camp and edited by Dan Harrison. Great work guys! Axé!
