Good action, good actors, good plot and a good political point of
vue makes this historical film made in a province in the extreme
south of Brazil (near the border with Argentina and Uruguay)
something to admire. Director Tabajara Ruas, also the author of
the original novel, shows the saga of an insurgent general of the
brazilian empire in the middle of the 19th century and how he
fights unsuccessfully the central government of Rio de Janeiro for
his republican and anti-slavery ideals almost half a century before
they became a political reality. It is very different from the rest of
brazilian film production.If you have a chance, don't miss it.
