I Owe You a Letter About Brazil unveils three generations of a family radically affected by the Brazilian Military Dictatorship (1964 – 1985), creating a complex landscape of the family bonds. In search of her father, an ex-political prisoner, the filmmaker untangles her grandmother's intimate writings in an attempt to understand the story of their family against the brutal backdrop of the authoritarian regime. Between the country’s recent past and the turbulent present context, the film investigates the persistence of silence as a tool to erase memory.
This film will only be available in Docs for Sale on November 24, after its World Premiere.
