That was some days ago but I think everyone should see Lula with the other presidents vs. Lula with Milei (Argentina's president) (middle picture)

Since it's getting screenings in other countries too now, I highly, highly recommend you go watch the movie Ainda Estou Aqui aka I'm Still Here if you can. Not because of the Oscars but because of how relevant it still (unfortunately) is today.

The latter half of the 20th century saw a wave of US-backed military coup d'états sinking Latin America in decades of far-right authoritarian dictatorial regimes, who cooperated between themselves and the United States to coordinate the violent repression of "political enemies" that resulted in the torture, disappearance and murder of a still unknown total number of people, among them students, workers, activists, minorities, members of armed resistance groups and even members of the military themselves.

In 2014, Brazil's National Truth Comission officially reported 434 people as dead or missing. Additionally, around 20.000 brazilians are estimated to have been subjected to torture at the hands of the State. In practice, however, the numbers are much higher, and they don't even take the State's project of genocide against indigenous peoples into acount.

Keep in mind that the data I'm showing only corresponds to Brazil, but this was happening all over the continent, in Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador. And even before the wave of coups in South America, the US had been doing the same thing in Central America and The Caribbean.

To this day, most of the perpetrators of this violence, despite being well known, never had to pay for their crimes. On the contrary, they're praised for it more often than we'd like, and all meanwhile thousands of families are to this day deprived of even as much as a body to bury.

This was never "a thing of the past", because Latin Americans are still very much suffering from the wounds inflicted on us during that time, we're reminded of them every day and we feel them every day, no matter how many far-right politicians and their minions try to deny it. Our countries haven't been treated as anything other than colonies since 1492.

The fact that these stories aren't too well known outside of our borders, along with the current political climate in the US and the rest of the world, and specially because of the internal efforts to erase them, I think now more than ever it's important to inform yourself, help keep those memories alive and fight alongside us.

I know Tumblr isn't a very video-heavy place but this is important. You might've heard about our former president being charged for a coup attempt, and you might've heard about or even seen our first Oscar winning film Ainda Estou Aqui (I'm Still Here), but it's important you know that those two things are deeply connected.

I've already made a post about military coups in Latin America and the US' active role in that period of our history and also how the perpetrators of those crimes were never punished for it, but now we're effectively watching History trying to repeat itself.

Bolsonaro and his followers are spreading the false narrative that our current government is partaking in censorship, and often travel to the US to network and gather support.

We already know how this story ends, but we can't let that happen. Educate yourself and do NOT believe in their lies.
