“Why We Fight” is the story of capoeira master Sapo and his son Nauê. His little one may have been born with the incredibly rare genetic condition IFAP (Ichthyosis follicularis-alopecia-photophobia), but Sapo and his wife, Lorena, are determined to keep Nauê’s spirits high via the jubilant rhythms of their beloved capoeira.
