    • Synopsis
    • Seven cuts. Seven exile experiences. The Democratic Republic of Congo and Brazil are reunited with their common history at Calijah, a small hair salon in the Rio de Janeiro suburb specialized in afro cuts. The owner, Fernando “Pablo” Mupapa, shares his dream of an anti-imperialist revolution for his community. The customers tell their stories, straight from the heart of Africa, exposing the powers that dominate the contemporary world.
