Overview
Marighella is a biographical political thriller film that focuses on the life of Carlos Marighella, who was an Afro-Brazilian poet, writer, politician, and Marxist-Leninist guerrilla fighter. Directed by Wagner Moura, the film stars Seu Jorge, Bruno Gagliasso, Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos, and Humberto Carrão. The story is set following the CIA-backed military coup of 1964 and the brutal, racist right-wing dictatorship that followed in Brazil. Facing a violent military dictatorship and an intimidated opposition, the legendary Carlos Marighella is driven to fight against the erosion of civil and human rights. The revolutionary leaves behind his wife and son to take up arms, articulating a resistance while ousting heinous crimes of torture and censorship, and ultimately becoming a notorious enemy and Brazil's number one enemy to the power structure, while being accused of engaging in terrorist acts against the Brazilian military dictatorship.
