Brazil : a report on torture

As part of the Bpi’s cycle on History and the Haskell Wexler retrospective, historian Philippe Artières–a CNRS research director seconded to the Interdisciplinary Institute of Contemporary Anthropology at the EHESS–will introduce the following film: Brazil : a report on torture.

Brazilian activists describe and, for greater clarity, demonstrate the forms of torture they were made to suffer, and which claimed the lives of many of their comrades.
