Tensions rise in Palmares, a 17th century settlement of escaped slaves, as warring leadership threatens to undo the life of freedom the community has fought to maintain.

Criminally underseen, QUILOMBO is a fascinating portrait of a community in crises and one of the first films to depect the revolutions of Africans against European slavers.
