Good Portuguese People (1981)
Directed by Rui Simões
“The Carnation Revolution's Film”
Documentary · 2h 15m
Using film and television footage taken during the revolutionary movement of April 25, 1974 in Portugal, and mixing it with music and live interviews with common people, the director conveys a vivid account of the period in which a military coup evolved to a socialist revolution, then was tempered into a formal European style democracy.
