Jânio a 24 Quadros(1981)

Jânio a 24 Quadros is a documentary examining three decades of Brazilian politics through the lens of ex-president Jânio Quadros, a polarizing figure who campaigned with a broom as his symbol—a promise to sweep away corruption. The film traces how Quadros became either a tragic, unstable leader or a pivotal figure whose sudden resignation in 1961 triggered the catastrophic events that followed, culminating in Brazil's military coup. Through archival footage and historical analysis, the documentary explores the competing interpretations of Quadros's legacy and his profound impact on the nation's political trajectory. It's an unflinching look at how one man's choices reshaped Brazilian history.
