Twenty Years Later (1984)

Eduardo Coutinho's documentary revisits the Northeast of Brazil, where he initially began filming *Twenty Years Later* in 1964, just as a military coup disrupted his project. Returning in 1981, he seeks to reconnect with the same locations and individuals, revealing the changes wrought by time. Central to his journey is the quest to reunite a family shattered by the assassination of their patriarch, a political leader who championed the rights of rural communities. The film poignantly captures the lingering impacts of trauma and the enduring hope for justice and connection.
