i found this a little disappointing, The story of breakaway slaves in Brazil who set up their own community. It includes the story of Ganga Zumba who seems to be a somewhat historically famous character. I know of at least two movies about him but haven't seen either yet. Every element was in place here for a very good film. But it isn't executed that well. Visually its fine but I didn't connect with any of the characters. So I didn't enjoy it the way I had hoped. A good film but nothing particularly outstanding here.
