In August 2016, Dilma Rousseff, Brazil’s first female president, was removed from office by the senate. She had come under attack after a series of corruption scandals and allegations. This courtroom drama documents the politically motivated trial from the perspective of Rousseff’s defence team.
Working against the conventions of non-fiction cinema, this courtroom drama unveils the pros and cons of modern democracy. With Brazil’s past and present politics facing each other, The Trial offers an eye-opening ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at the double-edged nature of leadership.
