A great documentary. Made me more interested into knowing the current situation of Brazilian politics.

From the magnificent representation of politics-circus as a football match, going through the most human facets of each of the sides, to the sensible internal reading of the party that defends the struggles of the movements of race, gender and class it is truly captivating how the struggle for power and the daily battle of those who still believe a change in hell is possible.

Revealing a Dilma that, even in the position of accused, has more serenity than its tormentors, "The Process" ends properly with a literal smokescreen, which functions as a reminder of the conflicts that dominated the country in recent years and the true purpose of "impeachment":

To allow, in the chaos that dominated society (and proving for the umpteenth time what Naomi Klein wrote in her "The Shock Doctrine"), "reforms" that take more to who has everything and take out of those who already had little.

This image, by the way, is the only one that really presents itself as an unambiguous editorial position.

The truth ignored by the Brazilian politics in 2016 will be remembered by future generations. And this movie documents it with competence.

This doc shows simply the facts, how the coup d'Etat took place.

The Process is a 2018 Brazilian documentary directed by Maria Ramos, which shows the behind-the-scenes of the impeachment process of Dilma Rousseff, in 2016.
