Synopsis:
The Girl Who Turned Pain Into Power is a poetic short film starring Maju, a 12-year-old Black Brazilian girl who transforms pain into art. In an all-white room, she paints with her hands and words, unveiling a manifesto of courage, representation, and self-empowerment—speaking boldly when the world demands silence.
