Sony Pictures Classics released the trailer for I’m Still Here, Brazil’s submission for the 2024 International Feature Film Oscar.
I’m Still Here tells the true story of the Paiva family, whose lives were torn apart by the Brazilian military dictatorship in the 1970s, but it somehow managed to rebuild through resilience.
In 1971, Labour Party congressman Rubens Paiva (Selton Mello) is disappeared by the military, leaving his wife Eunice (Fernanda Torres as a younger woman, and Fernanda Montenegro when she’s older) alone to care for their five children. But rather than be silenced in fear, Eunice becomes an activist fighting for justice against the oppressive regime, bringing hidden history to light.
It also received audience awards at the Vancouver, Mill Valley, the Miami, and São Paulo Film Festival.
“I’m Still Here” opens in New York and Los Angeles on January 17.
