The Trial
Description

A political thriller without a happy ending, and with an appropriately Kafkian-sounding title. The anatomy of Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment process, dissected step by step to understand the glaring irregularities many openly consider a coup d’état meant to radically redirect Brazil’s economic policy. (GGP)
