About this title
In his last years, Brazilian writer and torture survivor Roberto Freire leads viewers and film-maker Nick Cooper into the world of Soma. Therapists and clients help show the exercises and processes of this "anarchist" therapy, which also strives to include the philosophies of Wilhelm Reich and the vibrant culture of the Afro-Brazilian martial art / dance "capoeira angola."
