The Trial

Watch List
Overview
Dilma Rousseff was impeached and removed from office in 2016 because of a corruption scandal that involved, among other things, her then vice-president Michel Temer, who was then in charge. From the point of view of Rousseff's defense team, Maria Augusta Ramos is a film director. In this courtroom drama, things move at a slow pace. The appearances of the different people make the proceedings more like theater. Inside the courtroom, big emotions are played to the fullest. On the other side of the doors, lobbyists and supporters are walking down the hallways, too. A Greek chorus of protesters are singing outside the modernist government buildings in front of Brasil's modernist city halls. It's only the main character, Rousseff, who is still professional and aloof.
