#andnowwhat

How to act today politically? Is it possible to change things, people, society? And now, what to do? An intellectual and his contradictions.

Director’s notice

The film expresses our anxiety and exasperation with the political situation not only in Brazil but also in the entire world.

The extreme right wing grows every day.

Left activists and intellectuals simply do not know how to react.

The University seems more and more distant from the outskirts’ people.

Each political and social group speaks its own language.

So, now, in this chaotic and dystopian scenery, what should we do?

Fiction and reality are mixed in this urgent search for answers.
