This vlog looks at how capoeira is relevant in contemporary Brazil.
Brazil does not experience insecurity in the form of invasion or war,
but suffers from inequality, police and gang violence, and crisis in
political institutions. Capoeira extends its reach through activism,
projects and soft power. There are also regressive forms of power that
are nurtured within hierarchical capoeira academies, as can be observed
in widespread sexism.
