"I'm Still Here" is the first Brazilian production to win an Oscar. A movie about the evils of a dictatorship.
It's an American award on the soil of a country that supported a military coup that lasted more than 20 years and, coincidentally, is now on the verge of a coup d'état.
The film explores the profound impact of Brazil's last military dictatorship on one family. Fernanda Torres delivers a powerful performance that offers a glimpse into the daily struggles faced by many during that time. It's a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of those who endured such difficult times. It also marks the first time a Brazilian actress has won a Golden Globe.
Go see it.

I still remember when I was a child and my parents came home happy to tell me and my brother that they had voted for a president for the first time in their lives, in 1989. My dad was about my age now.
When I visited my parents last year, I was lucky enough to take them to the cinema to see "I'm Still Here". That made the film even more moving for me.
@everton137 I'm happy for Walter Salles. He finally got the recognition he should have gotten with "Central Station" back then.
