Maurício joined the Federal University of Medicine. In his first anatomy class he meets M8.
"One of the most anticipated and necessary films of 2020, 'M8: When Death Rescues Life' is yet another consistent work from filmmaker Jeferson De ('Bróder'). Here, he takes advantage of the prejudices and abuses of structural racism that takes Brazil by storm to talk about the routine of a black medical student, the only one in his class. Thus, seeing other black people only in the body of employees and in the figure of the bodies explored in anatomy class, he begins to be bothered by the social situation around him. It is a film with some saturations, mainly concerning the amount of topics and themes discussed in just over 80 minutes of duration. In addition, there is a didacticism that initially bothers. However, quickly, Jeferson De shows that this didacticism is still necessary. And, in the end, Jeferson and the very well interpreted protagonist by Juan Paiva ('Malhação: Viva a Diferença') move and make us reflect."
