Ousar Viver! Histórias da Maria

Directed by Silvio Tendler

Maria Pimentel is one of us! A fierce activist, she was part of the founding of the Federation of Women of São Paulo in the early 1980s as a union leader and contributed to the formation of several women's associations in the state. The film, in partnership with Instituto Angelim and Caliban Cinema, tells the memories and stories of Lúcia Maria Pimentel, an activist who fought against the military dictatorship in Brazil from a young age. Committed to her country and her people, she was arrested, went underground and exiled, but returned to fight for redemocratization and social justice.
