Synopsis
Ebony Goddess: Queen of IlĂȘ AiyĂȘ follows three women competing to be the carnival queen of IlĂȘ AiyĂȘ, a prominent and controversial Afro-Brazilian group with an all-black membership. The selection is based on Afro-centric notions of beauty, in counterpoint to prevailing standards of beauty in Brazil, a country famous for slim supermodels and plastic surgery. Contestants for the title of Ebony Goddess dress in flowing African-style garments, gracefully performing traditional Afro-Brazilian dances to songs praising the beauty of black women.
