Join the Harvard Law School Association of Los Angeles for a screening of the Academy Award-winning I’m Still Here, on May 20 at 6:30 pm PT.

Set against the backdrop of Brazil's 1970s military dictatorship, I'm Still Here chronicles the harrowing true story of Eunice Paiva, a mother of five whose husband, former congressman Rubens Paiva, is abducted by the regime. As Eunice confronts a web of state-sanctioned silence and repression, she transforms from a grieving wife into a formidable human rights advocate. Directed by Walter Salles and featuring a riveting, Golden Globe-winning performance by Fernanda Torres, this poignant drama delves into themes of resilience, justice, and the enduring impact of authoritarianism. 

​

I'm Still Here premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, earning the Best Screenplay award, and went on to win Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, marking a historic first for Brazilian cinema.

Networking will start at 6:30pm PT. The screening will begin at 7pm PT. After the screening, please feel free to stay behind and discuss the movie and hear what other HLSA-LA members thought about the movie.

The run time for I’m Still here is approximately 2 hours, 15 minutes.
