Maranhão 66 (1966)

Short (10 minutes) documentary which alternates scenes of a State governor's speech at his entrance into office with scenes of that State's misery. Brilliant, and an important document about Brazil's chronic social injustice and how nothing ever really changes in this "entranced land", to use the words which name the film ensuing this one in this filmmaker's career .
