Biographical political thriller based on the life of Carlos Marighella, a Brazilian politician, writer, and Marxist–Leninist guerrilla fighter accused of engaging in terrorist acts against the Brazilian military dictatorship. The film was adapted from the biography Marighella - The Guerrilla Who Lit the World on Fire by Mário Magalhães. It was released in 2019 but was banned in Brazil until 2021. A must-see during these times.
