Watch The Trial 2018 full HD on RapidFlix Free

The impeachment and removal from office of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in 2016 was precipitated by a corruption scandal involving, among others, her then vice president Michel Temer. The trial of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is followed by the director Maria Augusta Ramos from the perspective of her defense. This is a courtroom play that emerges slowly: the appearances of the various parties gradually transform the proceedings into something more akin to a performance on the courtroom stage. Inside the courtroom, great emotions are played out to their fullest extent, while on the other side of the doors, lobbyists and supporters make their way down the halls. Meanwhile, outside, in front of Brasil's modernist government buildings, a chorus of demonstrators is shouting in the style of the Greek chorus. All that is left is the primary character, Dilma Rousseff, who maintains her professionalism and aloofness throughout.
