What happens when a nation's culture becomes a warzone?
In the 1960s, Brazil was a country on fire. A vibrant, politically-charged art scene clashed head-on with a new, repressive military dictatorship. Songs became weapons, films became manifestos, and television became the ultimate tool for control.
This is the incredible story of how artists, musicians, and filmmakers fought a battle for the soul of their nation, from the rise of "engaged art" and Cinema Novo to the brutal censorship of the AI-5 decree. Discover how a cultural revolution was silenced and replaced by a state-controlled media machine, leaving a question that still echoes today: When media and power unite, who tells the real story?
Join us as we explore the clash between explosive creativity and the iron fist of power.
