Moacyr Werneck de Castro

Callado said he had to leave Brazil to get to know Brazil. His six-year trip to England and France during World War II sparked a "hunger for Brazil." As a journalist, he traveled to the "geographic center" of his Brazilian identity. As a writer, he reached the depths of his passion for a more just, less prejudiced, freer, and more democratic country.

"Impressões" rescues the history of the Brazilian press since 1808, when the "Correio Brasiliense" clandestinely reached Rio de Janeiro after being edited in London by Hipólito José da Costa, and spans until 1986. It's the first documentary to depict the history of the Brazilian journalistic press.
