What my father wouldn’t tell me

Carol Benjamin's family was perfectly ordinary - until the military took over in Brazil in the 1960s. Her father Cesar, who was just a schoolboy at the time, became an underground revolutionary in the armed uprising against the dictatorship. And when he was captured, Carol’s quiet law-abiding grandmother joined the resistance movement to free him. Years later, Cesar refused to speak about his experiences and Carol grew up trying to fill in the gaps in her family's history, and attempting to understand her father and his silences.Get in touch: [email protected]: Jo Fidgen Producer: Maryam MarufPicture: Carol and Cesar Benjamin Credit: Courtesy of Carol Benjamin and Daza Films
