To understand what happened in 1964 in Brazil, you must brush up a little your History. Try to interpret the world and global life as a class struggle in which the strongest and the powerful exploit the weakest, as per social Darwinism. Marx and Engels concluded that the exploited class, which produced the goods, was the one that should reign supreme, rather than that of its exploiters. The relevant ideological, political, social and military movement of 1964 was termed by some as a Revolution, by others as a Coup d'État, according to their convictions, interpretations, and concerned interests. In my opinion, the movement was neither a Revolution nor a Coup, but rather a Backlash. Or Countercoup. Against
¨Brasil Paralelo, 1964 - Brazil between arms and books" there is an ongoing campaign of defamation which started with an article in the newspaper "O Globo" arguing that the film in question defends right wing dictatorial regimes. As interviewee William Waack points out, "Not a single Communist country chose to become Communist by herself." This is also my advocated point, which I hereby relay to all those who really want to know the truth of the facts, regardless of your beliefs and convictions.
For the record, dictatorships and wars are neither just nor holy. They're dirty and inhumane. 1964 prevented Brazil from being transformed into a communist dictatorship. This documentary shows the errors and the hits that occurred in the last 61 years. It also reveals how the process of rigging occupation took place in universities and the media and how, through Gramscism, the left wing has since won the "cultural war". My recommendation: watch it.

Impressive and well produced, it shows a point of view that is usually supressed by mainstream media companies. Worth watching.
1964: O Brasil Entre Armas e Livros can't be called as a Documentary. This is the result of cherry picked facts: there is no storytelling and it also doesn't represent the history. It's a cliche of relativism and denial of the corrupt system maintained by the director's politics idols. There is a sense that there was no wrongdoing in a dictatorship.
For anyone that doesn't live in Brazil, watching this would give you a very incorrect understanding the politics and history.

The movie tells the true story of Brazil in the 60's without any political bias.
Just perfect, concrete and sober.
Everyone should watch to understand those days.
Until recently, this type of work would have been unthinkable in Brazil. Brasil Paralelo is helping to enlighten Brazilians so that they know the truth of various moments in our history that have been completely altered by the national left in recent decades.
The period before the Counter-Revolution of 1964 is detailed by the Brasil Paralelo team to show that the tentacles of communism were present in much of the world, including Brazil. And that the military response, with the support of most politicians, the press and especially the population, as can be seen in the newspapers of the time, was necessary to prevent a revolutionary dictatorship in Brazil, and as the history of the 20th century showed, it would have devastating consequences in the largest country in Latin America.
