Caparaó

Documentary about the first attempt to fight the military dictatorship since 1964. On the mountains of Caparaó, in august 1966, a group of former officers tried to start a great national reaction against the new regime, in an attempt to replicate a "Sierra Maestra" on Brazilian lands. As powerful as it is intimate, this documentary focuses on the Che Guevara-inspired Caparao Guerilla movement of late 60s Brazil, which attempted to overthrow the country's military dictatorship and replace it with a youthful, just, and equal utopian society. Authentic footage and interviews with veterans of the revolution bring the story gloriously to life, its message as timely now as it was then.
