To mark 25th of April, the day of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, our friends from Love Affair basement have invited us to curate a film for a special event celebrating freedom and democracy, so we are bringing you Iracema: Uma Transa Amazônica restored in 4k!
Directed by Orlando Senna and Jorge Bodanzky, the film, censured by the ditactorship in 1976, follows the construction of the Trans-Amazonian Highway, presented by the regime as proof of their "economic miracle." During the filming, the crew witnessed and documented scenes of violence, such as human trafficking and the forced displacement of riverine populations. The film recreated these moments with an impressive balance between fictional narrative and documentary reality, making it a timeless testimony to a critical period in Brazilian history.
Now restored in 4K, the film addresses pressing issues that remain relevant today: deforestation, forced migration, slave labour, and the cultural destruction of Indigenous peoples.
