The Confederate Flag Still Flies in the South (Brazil)

Via SHNV



An award-winning 2001 documentary of the present day descendants of the "Confederado" immigrants to Brazil. It is set against the background of the "Festa Confederada", a fund raising event which supports maintenance of the Campo Cemetery, which was started by Confederate exiles near the city of Santa Barbara d'Oeste in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The film combines interviews of confederate descendants and their neighbors with illustrations and old photographs to tell the story of how the Confederates came to be in Brazil.
