(A.H.F) A GRANDE PARTIDA - Anos de Chumbo
Relatos comoventes, antes silenciados pelos traumas do regime, que nos passam informações preciosas sobre os últimos 50 anos de história do Brasil.
Também uma renovação de esperança na construção de uma sociedade menos desigual e mais humana.
Depois de lançar o livro A Grande Partida: Anos de Chumbo, Francisco Soriano toma para si a missão de reunir vários companheiros, sobreviventes da ditadura de 1964, para juntos relembrarem a saga vivida na luta clandestina, buscando a libertação da sociedade brasileira submetida ao terrorismo do ESTADO POLICIAL.
Esses caras é que ainda não entenderam que o mundo deles já morreu. Esse é o mundo que vai contrário da evolução da humanidade.
Eles são a anti-evolução:O sistema patriarcal, hierárquico, autoritário, capitalista, materialista, consumista.
Esta cultura que reduz tudo a mercadoria... ela já é morta.
Nós fazemos parte de um mundo de esperança, que está se anunciando em cada gesto cada palavra rompendo com o nosso velho homem e nossa velha mulher. (Marcos Arruda)

Cabra Marcado para Morrer (Eduardo Coutinho)
Cabra marcado para morrer é um filme documentário Brasileiro de 1984, dirigido por Eduardo Coutinho. Em novembro de 2015 o filme entrou na lista feita pela Associação Brasileira de Críticos de Cinema (Abraccine) dos 100 melhores filmes brasileiros de todos os tempos.
SINOPSE
O filme é uma narrativa semidocumental da vida de João Pedro Teixeira, um líder camponês da Paraíba, assassinado em 1962.
Em razão do golpe militar, as filmagens foram interrompidas em 1964. O engenho da Galileia foi cercado por forças policiais. Parte da equipe foi presa sob a alegação de comunismo, e o restante dispersou-se.
O trabalho foi retomado 17 anos depois, recolhendo-se depoimentos dos camponeses que trabalharam nas primeiras filmagens e também da viúva de João Pedro, Elizabeth Altino Teixeira, que desde dezembro de 1964 vivera na clandestinidade, separada dos filhos. Reconstruiu-se assim a história de João Pedro e das Ligas camponesas de Galiléia e de Sapé.
Este Post é sem fins lucrativos e tem como objetivo preservar a nossa História e Homenagear o Grande Eduardo Coutinho.

SUMMARY
=======
Brazil (Portuguese: Brasil Portuguese pronunciation: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen ), is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. At 8.5 million square kilometers (3.2 million square miles) and with over 209 million people, Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country by area and the fifth most populous. The capital is Brasília, and the most populated city is São Paulo. The federation is composed of the union of the 26 states, the Federal District, and the 5,570 municipalities. It is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas; it is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world.Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 kilometers (4,655 mi). It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and covers 47.3% of the continent's land area. Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection.
Brazil was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing in 1500 of explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral, who claimed the area for the Portuguese Empire. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress. The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d'état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Brazil's current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic. Due to its rich culture and history, the country ranks thirteenth in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Brazil is considered an advanced emerging economy. It has the eighth largest GDP in the world by both nominal and PPP measures. It is one of the world's major breadbaskets, being the largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years. It is classified as an upper-middle income ec ...

SUMMARY
=======
The Occupy movement was an international progressive, socio-political movement against social and economic inequality and the lack of real democracy around the world. It aimed primarily to advance social and economic justice and new forms of democracy. The movement had many different scopes; local groups often had different focuses, but among the movement's prime concerns were how large corporations (and the global financial system) control the world in a way that disproportionately benefited a minority, undermined democracy, and was unstable. Occupy formed part of what Manfred Steger called the global justice movement.The first Occupy protest to receive widespread attention, Occupy Wall Street in New York City's Zuccotti Park, began on 17 September 2011. By 9 October, Occupy protests had taken place or were ongoing in over 951 cities across 82 countries, and in over 600 communities in the United States. Although most active in the United States, by October 2012 there had been Occupy protests and occupations in dozens of other countries across every inhabited continent. For the first month, overt police repression remained minimal, but this began to change by 25 October 2011 when police first attempted to forcibly remove Occupy Oakland. By the end of 2011, authorities had cleared most of the major camps, with the last remaining high-profile sites – in Washington, D.C. and in London – evicted by February 2012.The Occupy movement took inspiration in part from the Arab Spring, from the 2009 Iranian Green Movement, and from the Spanish Indignados Movement, as well as from the overall global wave of anti-austerity protests. The movement commonly uses the slogan We are the 99% and the #Occupy hashtag format; it organizes through websites such as Occupy Together. According to The Washington Post, the movement, which Cornel West described as a democratic awakening, is difficult to distill to a few demands. On 12 October 2011, Los Angeles City Council became one of the first governmental bodies in the United States to adopt a resolution stating its informal support of the Occupy movement. In October 2012, the Executive Director of Financial Stability at the Bank of England stated that the protesters were right to criticise and had persuaded bankers and politicians to behave in a more moral way.
