Description:
The Brazilian metal workers’ strikes in 1979–80 were instrumental in bringing down the military dictatorship. Heading them was Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, then a thirty-four-year-old metal worker, later president of Brazil from 2003 to 2011. Coutinho documents these historical events through the voices of some of the thousands of workers who partici-pated in the strikes. Personal stories of life and love are entangled with history
