Why watch this film?

Will many people, without a doubt, ask themselves: will I have a similar political view to my parents when I'm older? Will I become more conservative in my customs? Will I have difficulty understanding potential political damage, understanding the sexuality of young people? These are some of the questions that the powerful and very well-made documentary 'Libelu: Down with Dictatorship' provokes in those who watch it. From the story of the university left-wing group Libelu, one of the arms of resistance during the Military Dictatorship, we understand details of how it was formed and, above all, how this mark of left-wing politics has changed over time and with the aging of its former collaborators -- like Demétrio Magnoli, a political commentator always with a strong reactionary position. Good historical documentaries are like this. They raise questions from past events in order to understand our future.
