"I'm Still Here"

An interesting film about a family who suffered directly under Brazil's military dictatorship - at that time, under General Emílio Garrastazu Médici. The actual politics were quite complicated and as a result were lightly touched on in the film. 

The eerie part of the film was when unknown armed men showed up at the family residence, took away the father, and the rest of the family had to act as if nothing was particularly wrong or unusual about the situation.  Surviving under conditions where you had to deny obvious facts.

A warning about our slide into dictatorship under Trump.
