In a great film on Brazil, Quilombo: In 1650, a group of Brazilian slaves revolt and escape from their sugar plantation to the depths of the jungle, to a village they name Palmarres, where they join other runaways. Under the leadership of Ganga Bumba (Tony Tornado), the men are able to carve out a place to live, repelling attempts by their Portuguese masters to recapture them. A quilombo is a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by people of African origin, and others sometimes called Carabal
