O Sol - Caminhando contra o vento

Documentary about the 68-generation, told through the story of the newspaper “O Sol”, one of the first vehicles of the alternative Brazilian press, produced daily for six months, in the 1960s. The newspaper spoke of culture, politics and education through satires and prominent figures in the cultural scene of the time passed through him.

The film has the participation of personalities such as Ziraldo, Zuenir Ventura, Arnaldo Jabor, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Carlos Heitor Cony, Fernando Gabeira, Betty Faria, Hugo Carvana, among others.

Directed by Martha Alencar, Tetê Moraes, O Sol - Caminhando contra o vento leans on a strong ensemble — Hugo Carvana, Chico Buarque, Betty Faria — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2006.
