1964: O Brasil Entre Armas e Livros

No wonder this documentary never saw a theatrical run. It was posted on YouTube for lack of audiences interests.

Imagine a documentary that praises a dictatorship and tries to sell to the audience an idea that a coup d'etat was benefectful. Looks like a Nazi German piece of propaganda? Surprise, surprise: is a Brazilian film recently released on YouTube. Shameless historical revisionism.

It is a very good piece of documentary but is far away from being "unbiased". It has its own bias, a conservative view about the events that shook Brazil amidst Cold War. A perspective that somehow was not very popular among brazilians historians for a myriad of reasons. It is a very good documentary full of unspoken words about that years, lots of silenced testimonials that help us to study and comprehend a war of narratives about straight forward facts. Brazil was near to a civil war and that civil war had to "bad" sides, it was not a classic "good guys" versus "bad ones" as some people like to tell.

Impressive and well produced, it shows a point of view that is usually supressed by mainstream media companies. Worth watching.

It would be hilarious if this film was a satire.

The synopsis says it's an "unbiased analysis", but that's far from the truth. The screenplay is based in lies and misconceptions, and it's shameless ideological propaganda.
