Filme de montagem realizado no exílio de 1971 a 1973 entre Cuba e Roma. É considerado um trabalho “semi-acabado” de Glauber que tem um certo caráter pedagógico e procura através de uma montagem dialética fazer uma revisão crítica da colonização, da luta de classes, do messianismo e da implantação dos governos populistas no Terceiro Mundo. Há uma cronologia nos fatos apresentados que, apoiados em vasta iconografia (filmes, gravuras, fotos,etc...) operam, contudo, associações “livres” que permitem ao espectador uma visão “polifônica” da “Hystorya do Brazyl”.
