• Descrição: This article discusses a extension course taught at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sao Paulo, which sought to articulate the theme of the body and biomedicine through the documentary film support. It is proposed a reflection on the subject of the body in the field of biomedicine from selected documentaries, which focused on themes considered central in this context as teaching anatomy, eugenics, ethics and the history of HeLa cells, state action in the face of leprosy, scientific journeys of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (or the man from the Sertao and Chagas' disease) and reproductive technology, market and commercialization of cells and body parts. Extension activity is understood as a crucial practice in the university and the inseparability between research, teaching and extension.
