About Abertura
One of the most daring and radical shows presented in Brazilian television: "Abertura". It was broadcast between February and October, 1979, with weekly editions, presented by Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha. The video is a compilation of characters, statements, and interviews about the political and cultural situation of the country during the final stages of the Military Dictatorship.
Directed by Glauber Rocha, Abertura leans on a strong ensemble — Glauber Rocha, Flávio Cavalcanti, Caetano Veloso — 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 1979.
