Aunque una vez Brasil fue un país lastrado por una dictadura militar, el 2002 se produjo uno de los acontecimientos más importantes de su historia social: la elección de Lula da Silva como presidente, un activista que había luchado largo y tendido para defender los derechos del pueblo carioca. Bajo su mandato, más de 20 millones de personas lograron superar el umbral de pobreza. En 2010, Lula cedió el testigo del poder a un prodigio llamado Dilma Rousseff. Por desgracia, la corrupción institucional alcanzó al pueblo llano que, influenciado por un juez partisano, acabó poniendo la lupa sobre Lula y Dilma, así como sobre cualquier persona que no estuviese dispuesto a bailar a su son. Este documental explica el proceso que llevaría a ambos políticos a juzgados por distintos crímenes judiciales.

ABC of a Strike captures the 1979 metal workers strikes outside of São Paulo. The footage sat untouched until after the death of highly-regarded director Leon Hirszman in 1987, by which time the material had a new relevance. The gripping film captures the negotiations between the labor unions and the factory bosses and shows the birth of the region’s Worker’s Party, as well as the emergence of its charismatic leader, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Rising from extreme poverty, Lula gained national prominence as a union activist during the late 70s and early 80s. After being jailed during his time as a union leader, he eventually becomes Brazil’s president from 2003 to 2010.

Mientras sustituía a un cámara del Centro Popular de Cultura (CPC) en 1962, Eduardo Coutinho filmó una manifestación de protesta por la muerte del líder campesino João Pedro Teixeira. El presidente del CPC ofreció a Coutinho la dirección de una película basada en un libro de João Cabral pero, debido a la falta de acuerdo con el escritor, el proyecto pasó a basarse en la vida de Teixeira y en los movimientos campesinos del norte de Brasil . Su rodaje comenzó dos años después, pero el material hasta entonces realizado fue requisado y parte del equipo fue detenido tras el Golpe de Estado acontecido en Brasil el 31 de marzo de 1964. En 1979 Coutinho retomó el proyecto, pero le dio una perspectiva distinta. Se reunió con los campesinos que habían colaborado en el pasado, y con los familiares de Teixeira, y recogió sus reacciones ante la dictadura brasileña de las dos décadas pasadas, usando también el material que había podido recuperar del antiguo proyecto.

Emigra con sus hermanos hacia la gran ciudad en busca de un amuleto de la suerte, y en el camino se vuelve blanco. En la ciudad entablará una relación con una guerrillera urbana y un magnate capitalista.
