I’M STILL HERE

Legendary Brazilian auteur Walter Salles’ (CENTRAL STATION, THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES) first narrative feature in over a decade follows the close-knit Paiva family in 1971 Rio de Janeiro as they navigate the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. When a violent and arbitrary act by the government threatens their life together, Eunice (a stirring Fernanda Torres) must reinvent herself to lead her family into a new reality. Based on the autobiographical book of the same name by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Venice's Best Screenplay winner I’M STILL HERE brings to light an obscured, painful chapter in Brazil’s history with remarkable resilience, empathy, and strength. A Sony Pictures Classics release.
