Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the documentary Caixa d’água: qui-lombo é esse?, by Everlane Moraes (2013), in order to investigateBlacknessbased onthe themesof history and memory. Thus, the construction of the documentary was analyzed as a place of memory that records the history that seeks to physically, functionally and materially demarcate a people’strajectory, their belongings and identities. The text starts withthe hypothesis that cinema –as an educational tool –collaborates to reflect upon the history and memory of African peoples and their descendantsin the formation of the Brazilian population,established in Law 10.639/2003 as a compulsory subject in regular education. Based on a film content analysis with thematic decomposition, description and recomposition, we understand that the documentary questions historical content disseminated in Brazilian education as a representation of truths about black people.Thus, it isnot only a simple way of making and/or thinking cinema, but a commitment to the resignification of black existence.
