Grace Neutral discovers the Brazilian girls leading the new beauty revolution

[@i-D]

[@stnpaola]

I am Brazilian and I can say that this is the very first international documentary that talks the truth about Brazil. I've seen so many videos or documentaries about brazilian beauty and lifestyle that always stereotype everything here. And I love the way Grace leads the story, always trying to show both sides. Congratulations for the amazing video and thanks for representing Brazil without stereotypes for the very first time.

[@lisztomaniacgirl]

WELL SAID

[@pastelcataclysm]

If you like this, I recommend the Vice docu-series "States of Undress" as well. It focuses on fashion and how that correlates the current state of the country and the issues they are facing. Since I'm not Brazilian, I don't know how accurate it is but, personally, I really liked the episode on Brazil.

[@adri.s.138]

YES

[@JuuMasen]

+ lionthieves I was interested in your suggestion and went looking for the episode, but it looks like there are only 6 episodes out, and none of them are about Brazil. Maybe they feature Brazil in an episode about another country...? either way I'll watch all of it, looks interesting.

[@LunaLamperouge]

Hi! I'm a brazilian girl and I'm here to update you on the situation in Brazil right now. The number of girls wearing their natural hair grow so much, more and more the girls don't even see straightening their hair as something they should do like was when I was younger. The internet also lead to girls being encouraged to love their natural beauty more and more. Even old people don't talk as much about straightening hair and etc like my grandma used to, because they have more references of people using their natural hair on TV and etc. This year, a really loved black woman and doctor won Big Brother Brazil, which were probably one of the biggest ones of all time. The program raised the topics of sexism and racism, and everyone were watching and talking about it. I think almost all girls understand and have the idea that girls are not objects and to not let a man control your life, but the word "feminism" is now being linked to extremist feminists who don't aways know what they are talking, and the more conservative people use that to shame the movement. Is like all the girls fight for woman's rights, yet some of them don't like the word feminist. Also the cat calling on the streets has not gone away like expected, even though most of them are made by old disgusting men. The thing about not walking alone with sexy outfits at night thing, also continues but it depends on the city/part of the city because violence in Brazil really depends on the neighborhood you are in. But usually at night and alone is a no-no.

[@TheReapersSon]

Maybe you should start holding your fellow women accountable when they become toxic feminists so this problem doesn't arise. After all, you expect men to do the same when they act toxic, so I expect you as a woman to speak out when you hear women being toxic towards men or other women. Good luck with that.

Madelope it is dangerous in this area FOR EVERYONE. The video made it seem like it is dangerous for women but no, são Paulo is dangerous for everyone, of course for women is worse but it is not exclusive. Brazil is a violent country like many others 3rd world countries

[@DuncanloveCourtney]

lils that was something that was not so well translated because it's a slang. Here when we say "hunting" we mean that we are going out looking for someone to hook up with. It has nothing to do with rape, it's not making humor with that or is a rape joke. It's two completely different situations, when we say hunting means that you want to have sex and you're going after someone that wants the same thing, it has consent of both parts.

[@DuncanloveCourtney]

maccajoe chill dude, I didn't offend anyone, I just explained because there was another comment that was deleted where someone said it was depressing when they said they were going hunting man because it sounded like they were making humor out of the possibility of being a victim, maybe for you was super obvious but there were definitely a lot of people on the comments that didn't get it, no need to be ignorant and start calling people retarded.

[@Crashoverall]

The comment she made was very unfortunate. The area is not specifically dangerous to women, its dangerous for everyone. She did make it look like rape or any other women-specific kind of crime were a sure thing, which fortunately it isn't. Unless she considers catcalling rape, but even that is not that likely. The comment would make a lot more sense if she mentioned the risk of getting mugged or robbed. Or even killed.

[@defs3181]

Is Sao Paulo dangerous? of course it can be as almost all big citys in the World. But for the first time in history Sao Paulo has had less then 10 deaths for 100 thousand people with puts it below the threshold for epidemic violence according to the UN and is dropping in the crimes rates. So its kinda strange to see people reacting so strongly like violence and crime is a sure thing when, in fact, the city is safer then it has ever being in its WHOLE HISTORY

Como mulher negra e brasileira eu nunca me senti mais orgulhosa e representada em nível internacional como através desse documentário. Obrigada aos envolvidos!! ❤❤

[@princessIsabelle97]

I'm brazilian. I've lived here for most of my life. In the south of brazil where there aren't many people of color, so racism runs wild. I'm not black. Though I don't consider myself white either. I'm adopted, so I don't really know my origins. But my boyfriend is black and i see the way people look at us when we walk down the street holding hands. Specially if we're in a "richer" part of town. I hear racism from my own family about my relationship. Some think that simply because of his color, he wont mount to anything in life but that's not one bit true. If people only took the time to talk to the person behind the melanin, things would already but much easier. But on that note, I completely understand the girls not feeling safe walking down the street alone, or at night. I don't do that either. Public transport, even during day time, can be very dangerous for women. So much so that my parents prefer to make sacrifices to my me a used car so I didn't have to take the bus to go to college or anywhere else i need to be. I hear stories from some of my friends when the were going somewhere and a guy starts obviously following them. Or during rush hour, when there's barely room to breathe, someone will rub up against. And this doesn't go for only girls. Gay men also suffer a lot, and not to mention the physical assault. Brazil has a lot of growing to do and I hope i live to see the day where we can all live in peace.

[@LazyAlternativeBrat]

Im half Brazilian myself and Im very surprised to see just how many parallels with The U.S. we actually have. Its....actually quite disheartening because some of the sweetest and most cordial people I've met in Brazil are afrobrazilian or native american descendants.

[@jazzmahi6442]

Same here for india as girlswho r poor mostly take public transportation but ppl who can afford a scooter or car give it to their girls for going to places as public transport sys is definitely not safe .... i have experienced that if you happen to wear something stylish mayb eg a crop top u better b ready for getting stared to core by men on the bus

[@Babyshoes777]

I've always thought of Brazilians as mixed people. I didn't know everyone was trying to look white. My husband and I are both mixed race, Brazil has been the only country we feel like we fit in. I'm sad to see the negative black stereotyping there too 😔

[@Josouto1]

the negative black stereotype is not strict to any particular country, unfortunately. It´s part of a much bigger order. But at the same time.... I can say that right there in the middle of the people, in the heart of popular neighborhoods in Brazil, deep down, everybody knows that black is beautiful. Every Brazilian is somehow touched by African culture. And can identify to that. So it´s complex, there is an ambiguity as well... African culture is our homeland as well, in music, food, football, carnival and all the national identities, really. That is why you thought it would be positive to be black. You were right too. I am considered white here but I feel black at the end. I want to feel black and be part of Brazilian culture, because it´s more beautiful and genuine. The whites here try to copy Europeans, but they can´t. They are a false imitation. Now, another sad part is that my grandfather had Indian blood but our family can´t relate to that. You see, it´s really tragic what has happened to the Indian people. They have been wiped out. and striped of their own history by European colonization.

[@KatalinaKris]

I don't think I've ever watched a video where I was so inspired, hurt or have genuinely identified with more than this video right here. I got teary and felt everything the girls were feeling. This is why women need to be heard and Grace is doing such a great job! 🎉 ❤️

[@mariazegers5365]

Most of latinamerican countries are segregated by race. People with european origins are always the rich ones and they don't interact so much with people with latin/african inheritage and vice versa. This is why there's much racism. You can guess how much money a person has, where they may live, and what kind of education they had just by looking at them... excuse my english 😝

[@AmokBR]

People of Latin origin are of European heritage (in those countries). They were colonized by Spain and Portugal, whose languages are romance. I think you meant African or Native origin. Many of the more well-off Brazilians are also of Japanese or Lebanese origin. Believe it or not, in Brazil, there are also very white people who are poor, especially in the south. They are mostly of Easter-European origin. They of course don't have to deal with racism so much. Besides the Portuguese, who basically came up with the country, I've noticed that people who are better off in Brazil are either of Italian, Lebanese, German or Japanese origin. The problem in Brazil is that beauty standards focus a lot on one type of people, even though there are black, white, Asian and Native people Brazil, not to mention all the possible mixes.

@@hiphipjorge5755 tf hoy talking about? You are not even talking about SA you at talking about north (Mexico) an Costa Rica (Centro)... in south America the thing is different, the number of indigenous people is bigger than the number of mixed or white. And the problems begins there because politics and economics are ruled by this low percentage of people who doesn't consider the most predominant population, they always say this shit about everybody is mixed, like it was true when it's not. In my country for example (Bolivia) the 90% is indigenous. You go to the streets and what you are more likely to see is people with indigenous features (a no ser que estes en Sucre, ahí la mayoría son blancos por que era la capital del Virreinato de la Plata). Not accepting the reality of a country is equal to not accepting their people. Don't be naive.

one of the best documentaries I've seen about Brazil's way of dealing with its multiculturalism/multiracial background.

[@karlawanjirunjathi5763]

Sending love and appreciation from Austin, TX. Being raised as a first-gen Kenyan-American, I feel SOOOO lucky that I grew up in Memphis (a majority black city) where my school system actually taught me about my history as a black person. Granted, all I learned is school is people who look like me being enslaved, nothing of what we were before. But my teachers at all levels were always letting us know how the "light-skin, long hair" standards started as a way to keep slaves fighting each other for slightly better treatment from whites(look up the Willie Lynch Letter). I can't believe how my childhood would be without even having black Barbies, wow! As a young black female, I'm always having to deal with people telling me that I'm "pretty for a black girl" or that I "don't sound how they thought I would". Online dating is the worst for being black especially which sucks as a millennial because that's all we know. These women [in the video] are so strong and beautiful! I thank you for bringing their stories here!

Beauty isn't real. It's not eternal. It fades. In the end, all you'll have is your soul. The true you, without the shell of an appearance over it. In the end, it'll all depend on your personality and how you treat others.

[@desireelafleurhernandez9002]

Jessica Lee beauty is real. Beauty to me is exactly what you described there^:) It is a social construct though, so the common idea of beauty needs to change from appearance, to our souls.

[@Heyysisah2]

Desiree Hernandez Well said!

[@lisztomaniacgirl]

well said

[@user-vz7tn2gb3r]

Jessica Lee there is true to this. But we live in a world where people judge by skin and beauty unfortunately. People with different backgrounds should express their beauty to be noticed and be heard. Unfortunately thats how it's works in our current lifetime and it is effective

"não passarão,não,não passarão.."means: they wont pass,no,they shall not pass! it comes from a feminist slogan that we say here in brazil: machists shall not pass anymore!It means: we (girls) will never accept the machist behavior again,and we will fight against them! kisses from brasil!

I really feel this topic : in France a woman must have perfect skin, be slim yet somewhat curvy, have perfect hair, white teeth, full lips, light coloured eyes and wonderful makeup. And if you don't fit in the standards too bad for you then

[@mrfakuyu6830]

Siu Wan what do you mean by too bad? if you don't have some of these 'ideals' how would that affect your life?

[@Eng.Creation]

Siu Wan Siu Wan yh thats not gd cuz im sure you go for fat guys with yellow teeth ugly skin and messed up bald patches in their hair

[@Silmarieni1]

Please let me know who sets the beauty standards in France and who polices them

[@nanaxyz4356]

I don't really agree with you except for the "be slim yet somewhat curvy" part. I don't feel like France is a country where girls are pressured to be beautiful, at least not as much as Brazil. What you described seems to be the Baddie look that is really appreciated among teenagers nowadays. However, I do have to say that being at least a bit tanned is preferred and having light hair (blonde, or blonde highlights) is really trendy.

[@suzannescorner199]

Silmarieni C Probably the media once more and the people

[@camilafelixpessoa6263]

One of the best docs I've come across recently. Huge thanks to its producers and to Grace, whose activism through a very humanistic approach only inspires me and surely other women to pursue the path of self-expression and acceptance! I am from Brazil and find it hard to relate to girls like those 3 party-ladies. I still respect them and can understand what might go through their heads, but I just can partake in that movement... LOVE brave women who aren't afraid of embracing their bodies and roots. I have fair skin, but that is just a chance. My grandmother was mulata and her parents were black. I have traces of that root in my body that I have struggled to accept, for not finding any representation of that on mainstream media. It's still a fight I need to fight with myself every day, constantly remind myself of my worth and my unique beauty. So proud of these young women!

[@saksezo]

i sometimes wonder why people dislike black ones? i find them look really beautiful on their own way! If you are a black person , please be your self don't try to straighten your hair and lighten your skin , Believe me when i say You are Beautiful no matter what

[@Madison-ju8vn]

What was with that line of questioning, when Grace questioned whether it was too much of a risk to get a boob job, cause it could increase chance of rape?! WTF. Rape is a CRIME not a social issue so its a matter for law enforcement officers to deal with. Grace is completely pandering to the offenders there by asking that women change their behaviour. The only real way to that address that problem is with law and order reform/legislative response.

[@IlkaWaffy]

Mad i dont think this was what she was saying at all. the girls themselves brought up their looks , their clothing as things that would increase the chance of getting raped. this may be either reality or what those women actually believe. and grace only went with this thought process and narrative. that does not mean she would in any way blame a rape victim for getting raped or something ridiculous like that

[@andressasaravia8834]

The reality is that you might not even have boobs, if you're at the wrong place, at the wrong moment you may be a victim. This is true for women, for men, children...

[@Madison-ju8vn]

Why should she as you say "go with the narrative" at all.. Couldnt she empower that girl to do what she wanted in spite of her circumstance, in the same way she did for the girls with shaved heads and tattoos. Her message was inconsistent. She should empower all women!

[@OfficialMeridiem]

She was empowering her. She wasn't questioning in order to convince her not to get the surgery, she was questioning her in order to see her logic, and learn more about the Brazilian culture

[@Madison-ju8vn]

I just think she was more embracing of certain kinds of body modification that appealed to her rather than all kinds.

[@endlessblue2073]

I really need more episodes with Grace! She's my favorite presenter. Love her unique body mods and soft spoken yet calm and cool personality. So sad I can't find more episodes of her. :*(
