Marighella (2021)

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1969 Brazil, "Marighella" is a stirring portrait of a revolutionary leader who valiantly defies fear. Amid the brutal grip of a violent military dictatorship, notorious for its heinous acts of torture and notorious censorship, Marighella stands undeterred, declared as Brazil's public enemy number one. In this compelling narrative directed by Wagner Moura, Marighella is caught in a precarious balance. On one side, an oppressed nation suffocating under an intimidating regime, on the other, a band of revolutionaries, vibrant with the zeal of youth, thirty years his junior and ready to wage war for their freedom. Choosing action over inaction, Marighella orchestrates a resistance, a daring face-off against a regime whose support from the people is wavering at best. His fight is not just for a cause but also for a personal promise - a promise of reunion with his son whom he purposefully distances himself from to shield him from the impending danger. "Marighella" is a tale that weaves the personal and the political, depicting the fierce struggle of a man in the throes of a national crisis and a father yearning for the warmth of family amidst the chilling winds of revolution.

Marighella is an action movie featuring Charles Paraventi and directed by Wagner Moura.
