September 14, 2023, 21h30

Casa da Esquina (Coimbra)

Screenplay: Beatriz Carvalho, Miguel Dores | Production: Maus da fita

Synopsis: On June 10, 1995, under the multiple pretext of celebrating Race Day and Sporting's Portuguese Cup victory, a large group of Portuguese ethno-nationalists takes to the streets of Bairro Alto to beat up black people they meet along the way. The official result was 11 victims, one of them deadly, whose tragic death in Rua Garret gives its name to the court case - the Alcindo Monteiro case. This is a documentary about a long night - a night the size of a country.

Session held in partnership with the SOS Racismo movement | Commentator: Marta Araújo (CES)
