Mars One (Template:Lang-pt) is a 2022 Brazilian family drama film written and directed by Gabriel Martins. It tells the story of Deivinho (Cícero Lucas), a Black Brazilian youth who dreams of becoming an astrophysicist and joining a mission to the planet Mars. Deivinho's parents and sister are hard-working and support one another but live precariously on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte. The film dramatizes the social upheaval amongst Brazil's poor that greeted the election of populist Jair Bolsonaro.
The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and had a successful run at smaller film festivals, including jury wins at the L.A. Outfest and Nashville Film Festival.[2][3] It was chosen as Brazil's entry in the 95th Academy Awards.[4] It is distributed by ARRAY Releasing and went into wide release on Netflix in January 2022.[5]
Production
Afro-Brazilian director, screenwriter, and cinematographer Gabriel Martins is the driving creative force behind the film. Martins is a graduate of Centro Universitário UNA and launched Filmes de Plástico in 2009 with André Novais Oliveira and Maurílio Martins, who are credited as producers on Mars One. The film was shot just after the 2018 Brazilian general election. It was produced with public funds in order to promote Black filmmakers and narratives, a fact made poignant after Bolsonaro's election and the subsequent reversal of civil rights gains in Brazil.[1]
Magnolia Pictures purchased the rights to the film just prior to its debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January, 2022. The distributor touted an "uplifting and tender film about a family’s hopes and dreams, set against a Brazil in constant turmoil.”[1] Magnolia guided the film through a successful film festival run before negotiating the sale of the rights to Ava DuVernay’s distribution banner ARRAY Releasing in late 2022. Netflix launched the movie on its streaming service on January 5, 2023 while ARRAY retains distribution rights in English-speaking countries.[4]
