Mesopotamia's Power Play: A Film About a Forgotten Era Speaks Volumes for Brazil's Future The recent announcement of Maeve Jinkings, Bárbara Colen, and Márcio Vito starring in Andy Malafaia's feature debut, "Mesopotamia," has sent shockwaves through the Brazilian film industry.
The project is set to shoot next year in rural Rio de Janeiro and promises a powerful exploration of Brazil's complex past.
On its surface, "Mesopotamia" appears to be a drama about Jorge and Mariângela, a couple struggling to maintain their balance amidst the expropriation of their land for a hydroelectric dam.
