We publish a recompilation of actions that the Support Committees of A Nova Democracia have done. These actions are essential to make the revolutionary propaganda arrive to the people and the message being transmitted.
Film and debate in Federal District
The Support Committee of A Nova Demcoracia begins in Brazilia a series of films and debates. Each week there will be a film session and afterwards a debate on it, with the purpose of “diffuse the culture at the service of the people and the mass struggle all over the world” as the Committee itself reports.

Film and debate in Curitiba
On November 13 at 19:00h in Anfiteatro 500 do Prédio Dom Pedro I – Rectory of UFPR, there will be a film screen and debate on the 40 years of the film Cabra Marcado Para Morrer, directed by Eduardo Coutinho.
This film tells the history of the Peasant Leagues and the big landlords violence in Brazil. This film suffered a lot of repression during the 1964 military dictatorship, because the film was confiscated by the reactionary forces and who participated in the film and the peasant leaders themselves were persecuted. Only 17 years later, Coutinho could finish the film after the great popular resistance.
The debate that follows the film will seek to make a deep discussion in a moment were the struggle in the countryside and the of the peasant resistance increased. The film also allows to overview the history of the Peasant Leagues, the big landlords violence, the people’s struggle for land and the true class character of the Brazilian State and its bourgeois big landlord democracy.
