Wagner Moura

How could I be doing a film about a freedom fighter and not to fight for that film to be released and to have a proper release in the country?

So I engaged in that fight with lots of energy.

It was hard because this polarization is just really hard.

It's really hard.

It's really difficult because people are living in different mental states.

That's what's separating us.

It's like we are not living in the same world.

We are not seeing reality in the same way.

Right.

The hardest thing for me when I engaged in that fight against the government in Brazil to have my film released, and against the government itself and against everything that that government represented,

It was hard, but the hardest thing was because I felt that we were not talking the same language, that we were not talking about the same reality.

Yeah.

I think this is also a film about infamy.

You know, because it's...

how he was treated and how, and we shouldn't give any spoilers here, but the way he's treated in the end of the film and the way it's displayed, who he was,

in the newspaper, it's so unfair and that happens so often.

Like right now when the government and people are trying to discredit the man, I forgot his name, that got killed, the nurse,

Alex Preddy.

Yeah.

So they start all this campaign against him, like saying people are inventing lies about his life.
