Synopsis

The population and the Brazilian society are suffering, attacks by the pandemic and the calamitous gestão of the federal government that reveals the criminal concern in ending, not with poverty, not with doença, but with the poor! These hours, we only have Luta left, based on memory and the history of struggles and resistance of other hard times.

It happens that, due to the crucial importance of the History of Lutas, as well as general knowledge, culture and education suffer harsh attacks, slander, speech cuts, disqualifications by the political, economic and media elite.
