Carnival: They Can't Steal Our Joy – Film Screening & Live Brazilian Samba Performances!

Join us for Carnival: They Can't Steal Our Joy, a documentary screening and cultural celebration presented by Film Garage Studios at Zeitgeist!

The documentary explores the history and cultural significance of Caribbean Carnival, tracing its roots to African traditions, resistance to enslavement, and the celebration of freedom. Through storytelling, music, and dance, the film highlights how Carnival has become a powerful expression of cultural identity, resilience, and community.

Discover how Carnival traditions have evolved and spread across the world, bringing communities together through vibrant costumes, music, and dance while preserving cultural heritage and celebrating joy in the face of adversity.

The celebration doesn't end with the film! Following the screening, attendees can enjoy:
- A Q&A discussion
- Food and dancing in the atrium
- Live performances by Brazilian samba dancers!
