Operação Estupefacientes - Macau

December 4, 2019 (a few days before the anniversary of the administration of Macau from Portugal to China), Cinemateca Portuguesa showed the movie again, after the restoration of the movie in its laboratories. The session was presented by film scholar Maria do Carmo Piçarra, as part of the archives' section Permanent History of the Portuguese Cinema.

The movie was shown for a week only at second matinees at Lisbon's Monumental Theater, between two sessions of Doctor Zhivago (1965), during the 3rd week of the blockbuster. While Doutor Jivago pursued its career in a 4th week, Operação Estupefacientes was dropped. The movie has been shown sparingly on special sessions, and sometimes only one of its three parts, which have independent credits, as if with the intention of being shown as film shorts.
