O Processo plot
In August 2016, Dilma Rousseff, Brazil's first female president, was impeached by the Senate. She had come under fire after several corruption scandals and allegations of favoritism. For this courtroom drama, director Maria Augusta Ramos recorded the politically motivated trial from the perspective of Rousseff's defense team. Emotions run high between the walls of the packed courtroom, the Brazilian constitution is quoted with much theater and the references to the Brazilian dictatorship – when Rousseff was a political prisoner – are not uncommon.
