Release of Honestino film in Brazil

Overview

The film ‘Honestino’, directed by Aurélio Michiles, explores the life and disappearance of Honestino Guimarães, a former president of the National Union of Students (UNE) who was kidnapped by the Brazilian military dictatorship in 1973.

Following a special screening hosted by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the Palácio da Alvorada, the film is set to premiere in 18 Brazilian cities.
