1968: a Greve de Contagem / 1968: The Counting Strike

In 2018, fifty years had passed since the first workers' strike during the military dictatorship (1964-1985). Through testimonies from historians, researchers, and workers who participated in this historic strike in the Industrial City of Contagem, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, the documentary reconstructs this episode, which continued that same year, in July, with the famous Osasco strike in São Paulo, intensifying the confrontation with the bourgeoisie during the military period and sowing the seeds of the new unionism that would emerge a decade later.
