Act 1 - 7.1
Act 2 - 6.8
Act 3 - 7.5
Strong film that gives an insight into the democratic history and major events going on in Brazil as we speak
Social and political injustices and corruption across the board and shows once again that where there is power there is corruption
Film does give a biased view on the side of the workers party but I agree with them wholeheartedly
Some personal connections and insight from the filmmaker adds to the experience
Pieces together nicely to give the whole picture of the political scene and climate i the country
A timely piece showing yet another place in the world that is divided by policies and has the I'm right you're wrong mentality with no middle ground
Call to action to fight for what you believe in
Film can drag at times and be a bit convoluted at times
Interesting film that is worth the watch for educational purposes
Opens with Brazil divided by ex president Lula who did something illegal
One president impeached and one in prison, democracy of the country is in trouble
Also personal story about the filmmaker/narrator, born into a military dictatorship that soon after became democratic
Lulu helped revolutionize the country for the common man and overthrow the dictatorship
Lula creates the workers party and loses his his first 3 presidential campaigns but wins in 2002 after compromising
Brought hope to the country but instantly corruption arises
Turns on his own ideals to stay in power with the corrupt
Did help the country grow greatly in wealth, education and social programs
Dilma is the successor to Lula and becomes president in 2010
Costa, the filmmaker, gives insight into her parents fighting for the country to grow and change for the better
Lula left office with 87 percent approval rating navies he did make the country so much better
Dilma's Vice President was from the other party which has brought problems to the country
Archive footage pieced together to make the film
June 2013 rise of the people in Brazil that started as a revolt against risen bus fares into pure division in the country with mixed messages and confusion
Dilma challenges the banks interest rate against her country and the economy slows down and protests rise
Dilma creates anti corruption laws that soon investigates Petrobras and it's connection to corrupt politicians and politicians get arrested
Divides the country and causes Dilma's downfall but still gets elected again but her opponent leads the public in a want to impeach her as he can't take the loss
Right wing groups spread on social media and the media normalizes the protests and the country goes into a recession and government approval rate drops to 9 percent
Lula being dragged making him look guilty in connection to the corruption but no evidence is found
Lula becomes Dilma's chief of staff
Man in charge of investigating corruption is abusing his power and a phone call is leaked and people turn against Lula
See Costa's first footage she filmed herself in a protest
Country torn in half and people fight ideals on the street, no longer civil, a I'm right you're wrong mentality, like USAs current divide
Lula's nomination is blocked by a judge
A timely piece of film on division and no intelligent conversation to find a middle ground
Dilma delayed payments to the banks which was illegal just have to decide wether of not it is an impeachable offense
Cunha leads the lower house against Dilma after not getting what he wants
Costa gets first hand footage of the modern day events
Set up a wall outside of congress on the grass to separate the two sides during protest
Costa's family is connected to both sides, fight for freedom and the establishment
Political madhouse watching it all go down on TV
Congress votes to impeach Dilma and the proceedings will start
Temer becomes interim president
Interesting subject matter but narration and film itself can get boring
Leaked conversation reveals that they impeached Dilma to stop the corruption investigations that would have targeted many of the congress members, was a coup
Dilma faces her critics in the trial in congress
The people just want someone to fight for them that truly cares, want to be heard
Car Wash investigation goes public and connects Lula to many people who have been found to be corrupt
Lula agrees to questioning to follow law but refutes all allegations as there is no hard evidence
Lula sentenced to 12 years in prison by the investigators who also work as the judges, not impartial or fair in the slightest
Temer conversation leaked to hush money payments, more actual evidence of the interim president breaking laws
Conhu sentenced to 15 years who came after Dilma
Vote not to investigate Temer even though he was caught breaking law, crazy
Protests start for Temer now, endless cycle of corruption and an unhappy people
Lula must turn himself in after appeals fail and serve his time for the apartment bribery charges with no concrete evidence
People watch on as their spiritual leader gives one last speech to continue fighting for their ideals, beautiful speech
Bolsonaro elected president 6 months later
Some disposable images of people in the street
Democracy is only working when the rich fee threatened, great quote, means you are fighting for the people
Film ends with questions about who we are as a people
