Amnesty 1979
“In Brazil, the past has not yet passed.”
In Rome, in June 1979, the International Conference for Amnesty in Brazil is filmed, a major gathering of the Brazilian left in exile. Viewed in the present day, this archive revisits with rare vitality the question of political strategies in the face of state repressive apparatuses.
