Silvio Da-Rin
35mm / 94' / 2006 / Brasil

In 1969, two groups of revolutionaries fighting dictatorship in Brazil kidnapped the American ambassador, exchanging his freedom for the liberation of fifteen political prisoners, who were flown to Mexico in governmental aircraft Hércules 56. Thirty-six years later, nine survivors of that group and five members of the organizations responsible for the kidnapping give their version of the action and debate motives and consequences of the use of armed actions against dictatorship in Brazil at the time.
