Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco

Stunning espionage documentary on the US conspiracy that led to the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson original White House tapes, and CIA Top Secret documents reveal how the US government planned to overthrow Brazilian elected president João Goulart.

Documentary about a political episode during the Brazilian military dictatorship, which resulted in the issue of the Institutional Act #5 (AI-5), abolishing freedom of opinion in Brazil, and marking the transition to the toughest period of violation of human rights in the country. The episode was the Congress Assembly on December 12th, 1968, in which its members denied permission to punish congressman Márcio Moreira Alves, as was the Government's wish.

We question the most unquestionable period in our history. The result was an international investigation with part of secret attempts, discovery of Soviet documents and a lot of investigation by the Brazilian media. It was all under our eyes.

Almost 40 years after the end of the Military Dictatorship, Brazil is thinking about how to remember its dictators.
