In the film "Carnival Bahia," carnival is an all-encompassing celebration. Although, according to the film, it began in Bahia as a celebration for mostly upper class citizens, the film portrays it as now being a celebration for all social groups. The article describes the Carnaval in San Francisco as an attempt to create a celebration of all ethnic groups - more of an international celebration. There is a large Brazilian influence, and the elements of Carnaval in San Francisco, according to the article, make it too generic for the large Latino population to claim it as their own. The Latino population in San Francisco is varied, and each group has separate elements that it prefers to emphasize. In the film, each group, like Olodum, has its own cultural emphasis. Some are trying to go back to their African routes, others relate to Ghandi. However, the film says that they are all Brazilian, but first,they consider themselves Bahian. That is the common element that they celebrate in their own Carnival.
