A Batalha da Rua Maria Antônia, Vera Egito (Brazil, 2023)

Through a sequence of 21 consecutive shots, the movie takes us to October 1968. In the midst of the Brazilian dictatorship, students and teachers of the Left Student Movement confront assaults from the Communist Hunting Command. This pivotal night came to be known as  The Battle of the Students. Capturing the intensity of the struggle during that turbulent period, the film portrays 24 hours lived with the passion of the youth of the 1960s, in defense of an ideal, freedom, at the gates of the military invasion of the University of São Paulo building.

Film will be screened in its original version, in Portuguese.
