Debate: BALOONA MATATA

Silvana is a rapper which has conquered Scandinavia with her intransigent songs against all kinds of oppression. Activist and an icon of the queer community, identifies herself as a lesbian, a feminist and an anti-racist and she has become the voice of a new generation of non-conformist young people. A travel since the first years of their career, when she was an underground artist until present when she has become a real contemporary icon and a centre of attention for hundreds of teenagers and followers.

At the same time, she falls in love with the singer Beatrice Eli, a pop music model in Sweden. An intimate love story which reveals, as Silvana herself says, that “There aren’t superheroes, just human beings”. 

Silvana’s history is a universal one as it talks about finding the force to be oneself. An inspiring documentary which explores new narrative techniques and which aims to keep encouraging a revolution where young women could became creators, artists and leaders of tomorrow.
