This is Rhythmic Uprising's Video Podcast for August, 2008. In
it, director Benjamin Watkins makes the much anticipated
announcement that the documentary Rhythmic Uprising has
officially launched.  He goes on to give a detailed account of
the 5 launch screenings that Eliciana Nascimento put on
throughout the city of Salvador in Brazil where the film was
shot. Screening locations include the historic Teatro Vila Velha
which was once the spot where Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso
launched attacks on the Brazilian dictatorship through polemic
plays in the 60s. Today, it's home to Salvador's most
provocative theater group, the Bando de Teatro Olodum.
Following screening events take place in each of the communities
where the film was shot: Didá in the Pelourinho, ACANNE in Dois
de Julho, Beje Ero in Ogunjá, and Circo Picolino in Pituaçu.
