Silence 63

Forty-seven years after a bloody encounter between workers in strike from a steel factory in Ipatinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and the military forces, “Silêncio 63” unravels a city that saw, first hand, the final rehearsal of a coup d’état that would take place shortly after and smother the country for 21 years. This story is told with a brush of stillness and the eloquence of silence.
