An espionage documentary on the U.S. conspiracy that led to the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson original White House tapes, and CIA Top Secret documents reveal how the US government planned to overthrow Brazilian elected president João Goulart.
"Between March 31 and April 1, 1964, Brazil was the scene of a military coup by the Armed Forces, who removed President João Goulart from power and instituted a military dictatorship that would last 21 years - and which persecuted, tortured, and killed its opponents. Much has already been told and studied about this period of Brazilian history, but Camilo Tavares' documentary brings new elements, including previously unpublished documents and audio recordings proving the involvement of the United States in the conspiracy. There are also backstages of political articulation within Brazil, since the establishment of the dictatorship had the support of various sectors of society. A story that must remain alive so that it never happens again."
