The Trial

In "The Trial," director Maria Augusta Ramos provides a gripping courtroom drama that delves into the impeachment and removal from office of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in 2016. Through the lens of her defense team, the film offers a unique perspective on the trial, capturing the grand emotions and theatrics of the proceedings. As lobbyists and supporters pace the corridors outside, demonstrators chant like a Greek chorus in front of Brasília's modernist government buildings. Meanwhile, Rousseff remains professional and aloof, a stark contrast to the drama unfolding around her. With a slow-burning tension, the film reveals the political crisis that gripped Brazil and the collapse of its democratic institutions.
