Trivia
The feature documentary "Meu Lugar de Origem" ("Back Home to Stay") is about one of the most important projects in the 1980s in Brazil. The first circus school in Latin America was the subject of several newspaper articles worldwide, including in the The New York Times. The film speaks of the millennium-old art of circus, with its magic and challenges. At the same time, the documentary describes a very unstable period in Brazilian politics, during the Collor administration in the 1990s. The film also tells the story of Jamelão - a man who ran away with the circus, a passionate Brazilian who dedicated his life to this art and has looked after the school since it was created. The film tells four parallel stories: about the circus, the school, Brazilian politics and Jamelão, one of the best-known circus artists in Brazil.
