Winner of Best Screenplay at the Venice International Film Festival and a historic nominee for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, I’m Still Here is a powerful and unflinching portrait of resilience, memory, and justice. Directed by Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries), this gripping political biographical drama stars Fernanda Torres in a Golden Globe-winning performance alongside the legendary Fernanda Montenegro.

Based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, the film tells the true story of Eunice Paiva, a mother and activist whose husband, dissident politician Rubens Paiva, was forcibly disappeared by Brazil’s military dictatorship in 1971. Arrested and tortured for demanding answers, Eunice embarks on a decades-long fight to expose the truth while raising their five children. Spanning generations, the film captures her unwavering pursuit of justice—even as she faces the erasure of her own memories in her final years.

Hailed as one of the Top 5 International Films of 2024 by the National Board of Review, I’m Still Here has sparked critical acclaim and international conversation, cementing its place as one of the most significant political dramas of the decade.
