Best of ADIFF 2019: Marighella

January 12, 2020 6:30pm – 9:15pm

Catch MARIGHELLA as part of our Best of ADIFF 2019 Program

Currently censored in Brazil, Marighella is a new Brazilian action drama set in 1969 based on the life of Afro-Brazilian politician and guerrilla fighter Carlos Marighella. Facing a violent military dictatorship and with little support from a timid opposition, writer-turned-politician Carlos Marighella organizes a resistance movement. Alongside revolutionaries 30 years younger than him and willing to fight, the revolutionary leader opts for action. The film is adapted from the biography Marighella – O Guerrilheiro que Incendiou o Mundo, by Mário Magalhães. Brazilian musical artist, songwriter, and actor Seu Jorge plays Carlos Marighella.

Directed by Wagner Moura, 2019, Brazil, 155min, historical action drama, in Portuguese with English subtitles
