Goiás 247 - The new TV Brasil Central (TBC) has begun producing a documentary series about the military dictatorship and its repercussions in Goiás. The project will consist of six episodes, each averaging 15 minutes. This initiative, unprecedented in the state, will be written by journalist Renato Dias and directed by filmmaker and communications analyst Jarleo Barbosa of the new TBC. The series is expected to air in the second half of July.
“We are going to take a historical journey from the 64 coup to the redemocratization process, but above all, starting from the macro issue and then focusing on Goiás and talking about how this impacted our state,” explained filmmaker Jarleo Barbosa.
The project will feature testimonies from people who participated in some of the events, who were witnesses, or who were somehow involved in this context. The first episode will address the 64 coup. In the second, Goiás will be highlighted with a discussion of the election of Governor Mauro Borges, who, according to journalist Renato Dias, "supported the coup and mobilized the police."
The third will discuss the 50 years since May '68, when a student revolt that began in Paris paralyzed France with millions of people in the streets demanding various changes. The fourth will address the post-68 period and torture as a form of political activity in Goiás. The fifth will focus on the dead and disappeared political figures in Goiás. "Goiás has a list of 15 dead or disappeared," said Renato Dias. Finally, the sixth will deal with the process of redemocratization.
“The crimes of the past were not punished. We are going to tell this whole story to show the background of that era,” highlighted Renato Dias, who has 12 published books, a good part of them about the dictatorship. “It is important to remember and to bring data and testimonies, and even more so if we are thinking about a work on the dictatorship that focuses on the issue in Goiás,” emphasized Jarleo Barbosa.
More democracy
Recently, the new TBC (Brazilian Television System) launched the "More Democracy" campaign, which basically consists of fighting for freedom and citizens' rights. Besides bringing the population closer to the fundamentals of democracy, the initiative, in this first phase, gathers testimonies from prominent figures in Goiás about the dark period of the dictatorship. The project involves revisiting the history of democracy in Brazil and aims to explain to the population the achievements of a model of government in which there is the possibility of choosing representatives through periodic elections. During the new TBC's programming, testimonies from journalists, historians, professors, and other figures from various sectors of society are already being broadcast.
