Concurrently, the Festival É Tudo Verdade prepared a special program in collaboration with Sesc-SP, a prominent cultural institution. The festival's closing film was "A Última Floresta," a documentary portraying the strength of Indigenous communities. Three other films received particular attention within the É Tudo Verdade 2021 program. One highlighted documentary explores the meeting between figures Del Picchia and Grande Othelo, framed within the context of Brazilian racial dynamics. An opinion piece titled "Pretend It’s a Review" was published, offering critical perspective. Another article, "Para entender o nosso racismo," directly addresses systemic racism in Brazil. These events and publications collectively spotlight documentary film as a medium for examining social and cultural issues.
