About event

-O Dia que Durou 21 Anos (The Day That Lasted 21 Years) is a Brazilian documentary film directed by Camilo Tavares that shows the influence of the U.S. government in the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état. Original White House tapes with John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson as well as CIA Top Secret documents reveal how the US government planned to overthrow Brazilian elected president João Goulart.
The film has won three awards in international festivals cinemas, two of these in the United States and one in France.
-Synopsis
The 1964 Brazilian coup d'état on March 31, 1964, culminated in the overthrow of Brazilian elected President João Goulart by the Armed Forces. On April 1, 1964, the United States expressed its support to the new military regime. The documentary explores the American involvement in the coup that culminated in a brutal dictatorship that would last for the next 21 years.
Amsterdam Collective for Democracy
-The Amsterdam Collective for Democracy is a progressive, cross-party group made up mostly of women living in the Netherlands. It was founded in March 2016 as a resistance to the crisis that led to the coup against President Dilma Roussef. The group boasts an important history of political events in the Netherlands and is a founding member of FIBRA (Brazilian Front Against the Coup and for Democracy in Brazil). Its current dynamic seeks to keep up with the Brazilian situation by maintaining a dialogue with both the emigrant community and social movements in Brazil based on specific demands, such as round table discussions between activists and guests and events focused on promoting Brazilian culture.
