Beginning with the opening paragraphs, as if following the tenets of a classic epic, he throws us right in the middle of the action, \"in media res.\" Then, navigating chronological milestones that recapitulate our history of recent decades, he gradually recreates the impasses and achievements of successive generations in their struggle for democracy. And he brings to the reader's consciousness the power of simultaneous histories that coexist, contemporary, in this country where indigenous peoples have been disrespected and threatened in every way.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"Films and I\"\u003c\/em\u003e functions almost like an almanac, essential for scholars, experts, and film lovers, especially those of Brazilian cinema.
