Brazil chooses 'Mars One' to represent country at Oscar 2023

The film 'Mars One' was nominated by the Brazilian Cinema Academy to compete for a place at the 2023 Oscars. Awesome, huh? The decision was made by 19 members of the academy and communicated on Monday (5).

Marte Um, produced by Gabriel Martins, tells the story of “the Martins”, a black family from Minas Gerais that overcomes the adversities of life. One of them is living as a middle class in a country that just elected an extreme right-wing president.
