Synopsis
The Forbidden Dance (1990) is a dance melodrama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Greydon Clark at the height of the lambada craze. It pairs a hot Brazilian rhythm with an unlikely save-the-rainforest plot.
Nisa, a princess from an Amazon tribe, watches a corporation move in on her people's land. She flies to Los Angeles to fight back, broke and out of her depth, until a wealthy young man offers a shortcut: win a televised lambada contest and the cameras will carry her message. Laura Harring, years before Mulholland Drive, takes the lead.
This is pure early-nineties cheese — bright costumes, sweaty choreography, a cause wrapped around a dance contest. Come for the lambada numbers and the period charm, not the script. Stream The Forbidden Dance (1990) online on iFILM.
