One of the most acclaimed Brazilian film productions of 2019, “Marighella” depicts the life of Carlos Marighella, a Black Brazilian communist guerrilla fighter considered the number one enemy of the Brazilian Military Dictatorship. Marighella led an urban, armed offense against the military dictatorship that persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and murdered opposition politicians and activists throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The film, directed by renowned Brazilian actor and director Wagner Moura, was an adaptation of the acclaimed biography by journalist Mário Magalhães, Marighella – O Guerrilheiro que Incendiou o Mundo. Join Mário Magalhães for a conversation about the film.
