César Benjamin was arrested in August 1971 during student protests against the Brazilian military dictatorship. Although he was a juvenile, he was tried as an adult and sentenced to 13 years in prison. Thanks to the ardent campaigning of his mother Iramaya, working closely together with the Swedish branch of Amnesty International, he was released five years later.

Aquele Abraço

They came by bike, on foot, by bus, in trailers... They crossed deserts, crossed the continent, slept on the streets, in hotels and in the favelas. Armed with their cameras, thousands of travelers traveled around Rio de Janeiro without spending much money and experienced the World Cup as a big party. Constructed entirely from images taken by the tourists themselves, the short film shows the Rio de Janeiro they discovered and the adventures of experiencing the other side of the World Cup.
