ANTONIA The Film Released by W&M Client Anywhere Road, Inc.

W&M is excited to announce that its film distirbution client, Anywhere Road, Inc. will be releasing its film Antonia this weekend (the 21st). The film has received terrific reviews:

1. VILLAGE VOICE--Set on the outskirts of São Paulo, this engaging, female-centric melodrama concerns four streetwise Afro-Brazilian women, backup singers for a male hip-hop group, who dream of making it on their own. With talent to spare, their biggest obstacles prove to be poverty and violence—twin perils that threaten to offset the energy and vitality that equally distinguish Brazilian culture.

2. NEW YORK TIMES--Director Tata Amaral offers a poetic look at such difficult issues of violence, racism, and sexism in contemporary Brazil with this vibrant and uplifting tale of four female rappers straining to make a name for themselves while performing on the outskirts of São Paolo.
