I’m Still Here is Walter Salles' first solo Brazilian feature in more than 20 years .

The film examines the moments leading up to when Rubens Paiva is kidnapped by the regime taking power in Brazil .

It traces the immediate aftermath as his wife, Eunice , seeks justice in the form of finding her husband and fighting for democracy.

The level of national pride in this film is pretty extraordinary, even from my vantage point here in the US .

The film shows that cinema can be a true instigator for people to think and to have their own ideas on what they're seeing and what they can bring to the table.

There’s an intuition for cinema in Brazil that is very strong.

The characters and the sociopolitical aspects of this film may look closer to many cultures than it felt a year ago or two years ago , and that is something that nobody could have anticipated.

Fernanda told me that Sean Penn had joined you for a screening right after the election.
