Based on historical facts, the film portrays the largest slave rebellion in Brazilian history, the Malê Revolt. The uprising mobilized the black population in the streets of Salvador against slavery in 1835. After the failure of the revolt, the protesters were harshly punished and repression against black people in Brazil increased.
Unfortunately the movie Malês is not yet available on HBO Max.
