Combining footage of dances, bodies in motion, key figures from this universe, everyday scenes, and a beat that makes everyone move, the film celebrates funk as a vital and cultural force in the Brazilian periphery.

Her Hope Haven is a comedy-drama about a group of women working the steps toward their sobriety.

Against the odds of societal expectations and the money-making business of recovery, the women seek redemption through small stories of levity, euphoria, and heartbreak. The women persevere through working together, and at times against one another, to keep their sobriety as they build bonds with one another during the hardest time of their lives.
