Synopsis

In 2018, the fiftieth anniversary of the first workers' strike during the military dictatorship (1964 - 1985) was completed. Through the testimonies of historians, researchers and workers who participated in that historic strike in the Industrial City of Contagem, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, the documentary reconstructs this episode that lasted that same year, in July, in the famous strike in Osasco, in São Paulo. Intensifying the confrontation with the bourgeoisie in the military period and sowing the seeds of the new unionism that would emerge a decade later.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
