Synopsis
"Othelo, The Great" is a documentary about Sebastião Bernardes de Souza Prata, aka Grande Othelo, one of Brazil's greatest actors and comedians. Black, orphaned, and the grandson of slaves, Othelo escaped poverty to forge a career that broke every imaginable barrier for a black actor in the first half of the 20th century, working with filmmakers such as Orson Welles, Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Werner Herzog, Julio Bressane, Marcel Camus, and Nelson Pereira dos Santos, among many others.
