On March 31, 1964, Brazil entered one of the darkest periods of its long history: shortly after the deposition of President João Goulart, threatened with death before even returning from his trip to China, the army seized power unconstitutionally and implemented the coup that would last 21 years (i.e. until 1985).
In the midst of those more than two decades, in fact, the period of greatest repression would come with Costa e Silva, the 2nd serviceman in the presidency who granted the AI-5 and, with him, ordered the closure of Congress. and repression and torture against government opponents (in this case, anyone who dared to denounce those in power). The result could not have been different: Thousands of people were jailed and killed, and news of these murders would surface many years later (and to this day, they are being discovered).
Even so, during the dictatorship, countless artists took a stand against the government and did everything to criticize it, whether through music, literature or film. From Caetano Veloso to Glauber Rocha, these prolific names inspired a generation to rise up against censorship and, to this day, they serve as the basis for the feature films, novels and series set in this era.
For this reason, CinePOP has separated ten films about the civil-military regime that began in the 1960s, spanning several decades and helping to destroy the existing denial about this troubled time.
