Brazil: "A luta continua"

• The 60's and 70's were not the best years of our lives. Like most countries in Latin America, Brazil underwent through a violent military dictatorship during those years ("os anos de chumbo"). Many people simply vanished from the national scenario. Brasil, nunca mais!(*) and/or Brazil, nevermore? bring us back the story of those people who dared to dream.
• Henfil(*). "Ele nunca foi preso... Por outro lado, teve pencas de cartuns censurados".(from O Estado de São Paulo, 1996). Henfil was one of the most censored brazilian cartunist during those years. He created the so popular characters: Graúna (the young lady at the top of my homepage), Bode Orelana, Zeferino, Fradim,... Henfil died when he was 43 in 1988 victim of hemofilia and Aids.
• PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores)(*)--"Sem medo de ser feliz.." & Luis Inácio Lula da Silva. The Brazilian Workers Party bloomed during late 70's when Brasil was a bipartisan country imposed by the dictatorship. In 1978 and 1979, Lula was the leader of huge strikes that paralyzed São Paulo's multinational-owned automobile factories. Later as one of the most prominent leaders on the struggle against the military dictatirship, LULA became the first president of the "Partido dos Trabalhadores."
