The Brazilian diplomat José Bustani was the first director-general of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Under his impartial leadership (1997 to 2002), the OPCW was on the verge of aligning Iraq with its directives when the Twin Towers were attacked on September 11, 2001. The United States, which would invade Iraq two years later, started pressuring Bustani to resign. However, to his immense personal cost, the diplomat endeavored to prove that the justification for the invasion of Iraq—the allegation that it possessed weapons of mass destruction—was entirely bogus. Today, as a retiree in Rio de Janeiro, Bustani devotes his time to his first love: music.

The impeachment and removal from office of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in 2016 was triggered by a corruption scandal involving, among others, her then vice-president Michel Temer. Director Maria Augusta Ramos follows the trial against Rousseff from the point of view of her defence team. This is a courtroom drama that unfolds slowly: the appearances of the various parties gradually turn the proceedings into something akin to theatre. Inside the courtroom, grand emotions are played to full effect whilst, on the other side of the doors, lobbyists and supporters pace the corridors. Meanwhile, outside, in front of Brasília’s modernist government buildings, demonstrators are chanting like a Greek chorus. Only the main character, Rousseff herself, remains professional and aloof.

ABC of a Strike captures the 1979 metal workers strikes outside of São Paulo. The footage sat untouched until after the death of highly-regarded director Leon Hirszman in 1987, by which time the material had a new relevance. The gripping film captures the negotiations between the labor unions and the factory bosses and shows the birth of the region’s Worker’s Party, as well as the emergence of its charismatic leader, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Rising from extreme poverty, Lula gained national prominence as a union activist during the late 70s and early 80s. After being jailed during his time as a union leader, he eventually becomes Brazil’s president from 2003 to 2010.
