SYNOPSIS:
The feature documentary “Your Turn” depicts the Brazilian student movement from
the protests of 2013 until the election of the new president, Jair Bolsonaro, in 2018.
Inspired by the collective voice of the movement itself, which demanded for better public education and the end of austerity measures, the documentary is narrated by three high school students, who represent central points of their struggle. The narrators’ jostling for space and time exposes the movement’s conflicts and demonstrates its complexity.
