In 1988, centenary of the Golden Law, Zózimo Bulbul made his first feature film as a director, called Abolição (Abolition). The desire to reclaim black narratives is the key for the production of the documentary, which discusses the topic from the perspective of a team formed exclusively by black professionals. Thus, the objective of this dissertation is to investigate the piece at that historic moment (1980s) and understand the context in which the hundred years post abolition of slavery were discussed. Within the proposition, this work dialogues with intellectuals, artists, sportsmen who will reflect about what it is to be black in Brazil. These interlocutors are also characters in the film itself, such as Lélia Gonzalez, Thereza Santos, Abdias Nascimento, Muniz Sodré, among others. In addition, a short film will be made based on unpublished interviews conducted with part of the film crew. The proposal is also to establish an audiovisual documentation with testimonials from the team that will revive the atmosphere of the filming and the historical context of Abolition.
