Divine Rhythms is a documentary film exploring Candomblé, the Afro-Brazilian faith whose ceremonies bring together music, movement, spirituality and community.
Filmed in Recife, Brazil, the project follows musicians and practitioners whose lives are shaped by their relationships with the Orixás. Through personal testimony, observation and performance, the film explores how faith is experienced, sustained and passed between generations.
