Movie: Libelu – Down With The Dictatorship
Sinopsis: Freedom and Fight was a Trotskyist university group created in 1976. Pulsed by an international clandestine organisation, the student movement gained fame by claiming the catch-phrase “Down With the Dictatorship”. Its members were famous for their irreverence and cultural openness.
Between the years 1970 and 1980, Libelu became an adjective, synonym for radicality and, for opponents, political inconsequence. After four decades, where are they, and what do the young Trotskyists that went to the streets against the generals think nowadays?
Logline: In the 1970s, they were championing the fight against Brazil’s military dictatorship. Forty years later, what’s left of Libelu? What does adult life have in store for you after the revolutionary youth?
