‘She’s the One’ Writer on How Brazilian Telenovelas Broach Issues of Racism and Sexism in Family-Friendly TV Slots: ‘It’s All About the Tone’ (EXCLUSIVE)
'She's the One' will headline Globo's 100th anniversary celebration at this year's Content Americas market in Miami.
The 6 p.m. telenovela slot at Globo — the free-to-air channel of the biggest production force in Latin America — has long been known for its highly successful, family-oriented period pieces, from “The Thorn and the Rose” to “Pepper Chocolate.” Currently on air, “She’s the One” is eyeing to join this prestigious rank. Speaking exclusively with Variety ahead of the launch of “She’s the One” at Content Americas — a Miami-based event aimed at the Latin and Hispanic markets, with telenovelas, series, documentaries and formats — showrunner Alessandra Poggi says she is thrilled with the audience reception of the story in Brazil so far. Set in 1958, “She’s the One” follows Beatriz (Duda Santos), who believed she was abandoned at four years old but later discovers her loving mother (Carol Castro) suffered a grave accident and was subsequently manipulated by a villainous mother-and-son duo, played by renowned actors Lilia Cabral and Fábio Assunção.
