DESCRIPTION:Malês (2025) is a historical drama set in 1835 in Salvador\, B
 ahia\, Brazil. It follows a Muslim African couple who are kidnapped from t
 heir homeland\, enslaved in Brazil\, separated\, and forced to navigate th
 e violence of slavery. In time\, they become involved in the Malê Revolt\
 , the largest organized slave uprising in Brazilian history. The film weav
 es together the personal struggle to reunite and the broader collective st
 ruggle of enslaved and free Black Muslims against racism\, religious perse
 cution\, and colonial domination. This film was directed by Dir. Antonio P
 itanga. (1 hr 54 min) \n\n \n\nReis\, Professor of History at the Federal 
 University of Bahia in Salvador\, Brazil\, served as the film’s historic
 al advisor. His classic research on the 1835 Malê Revolt was drawn upon h
 eavily in the film. In interviews\, the film director and cast explicitly 
 credit Reis’ book for providing the archival base\, social detail (every
 day life\, punishment\, religious practices)\, and characters that the fil
 m dramatizes. Reis will discuss his research\, the film\, and his long-sta
 nding argument that the Malês were politically organized historical agent
 s\, not passive victims. \n\n \n\nThis event was organized by CGIS and spo
 nsored by KU International Affairs\, Kansas African Studies Center\, Impac
 t & Belonging\, Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies\, Hall Cente
 r for the Humanities\, Religious Studies\, Spencer Museum of Art\, Spanish
  & Portuguese\, Film & Media Studies\, History\, School of Business\, Afri
