Synopsis
Canudos is a controversial topic that has always been excluded from Brazil's official history. This video does not attempt to exhaustively cover such a significant episode, which has been interpreted in so many different and contradictory ways. República de Canudos narrates the trajectory of the liberation struggle of organized communities in the hinterlands of Bahia and brings to light the memory of Antônio Conselheiro, who survives unscathed in everyday life, in fantasy, or even in the utopia of the communities of Uauá, Euclides da Cunha, Cocorobó, Tucano, and Monte Santo.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
