Sinopse
A vila de Mazagão Velho é conhecido como berço da cultura do estado do Amapá. Seus habitantes se orgulham de ser descendentes da migração para o Brasil da última colônia portuguesa na África. Hoje, entre as dezenas de festas em homenagem a santos católicos comemoradas em Mazagão, a principal é a Festa de São Tiago, que remonta o conflito entre “cristãos e mouros” na África, com procissão de cavalaria e batalhas encenadas pelas ruas da cidade. Esta tradição secular está atualmente em rota de colisão com a modernidade. “Mazagão – Porta do Mar” mergulha no imaginário e na história do povo de Mazagão em uma trajetória que atravessa 246 anos e o Oceano Atlântico. O documentário registra o encontro de dois mundos e tempos: o da cidade do passado e suas histórias de batalhas gloriosas, com a comunidade tradicional que está numa encruzilhada com o mundo moderno.

The second part of the documentary "Después de...", "Atado y bien atado" presents the sensitivity that existed in different areas of Spanish society in its young democracy concerning its future, where the fear of a sector was underlying ultra-conservative before the construction of a different country and that already announced the attempted coup d'état of February 1981. Without a doubt, this work —which could not be released until 1983— places Cecilia Bartolomé and her brother as precursors of the social documentary that will have an enormous development and that today continues to be crucial in Spanish film production.

The church is the body of Christ. In Greece, the church embodied a philosophy. Then in Rome, it became an institution. Spreading throughout Europe, it became one with the culture there. Traveling to the US, the church became a business. And when it arrived in Korea, it became a conglomerate. The top five largest churches in the world are located in Korea. However, Christ has long been absent in the nation. So then, what is the church? Who is Jesus Christ? What kind of world do Christians want? If the church is indeed the body of Christ, then we must ask the questions point-blank. Where do we stand in all this? And where exactly are we headed? Korean churches—“Quo Vadis?” Korean society—“Quo Vadis?”

Although scoffed at and ultimately banned by the medical establishment, by the 1950s, Hoxsey's formula had been used to treat thousands of patients, who testified to its efficacy.
