Celebrated Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) directs a masterful Golden Globe-nominated historical drama.

One afternoon in 1971, Rubens Paiva, a former congressman and outspoken critic of Brazil's newly instituted military dictatorship, was taken from his home in Rio de Janeiro by government officials, told nothing more than that he must give a "deposition" to authorities, and disappeared. Adapted from his son's memoir, this overwhelming, richly realised political drama from Salles stays tightly wedded to the perspective of Rubens's wife, Eunice (a shattering Fernanda Torres), whose indefatigable search for the truth about her husband would stretch out for decades.

A devastating true story, I’M STILL HERE is exhilarating in its portrayal of human tenacity in the face of injustice.
