Márcio Câmara was born in 1963 in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. He is a director and writer, known for Mutum (2007), To the Left of the Father (2001) and Pacarrete (2019).- Marshall Castelo Branco, as he is best known, was the first president the military regime in Brazil which lasted 21 years. During his tenure, several politicians had their mandates annulled, freedom of press was forbidden and censorship was rampant. The general idea was to eliminate from view supporters from the previous govern, the socialist inclined João Goulart. Globo Organizations finally got their major concession to operate during his term with a TV network, now considered one of the biggest in the world. His death on a plane crash in 1967 is one of the greatest mysteries of all, with official reports mentioning that his plane lost control during flight while the most famous version mentions that the plane was accidentally shot down by another military craft - and that final version makes it seem it wasn't a complete accident since Castelo had enemies who weren't enthusiastic with the way he conducted his administration, and therefore wanted him out of the picture.
