Almost 51 years after the April Revolution, these shorts bring us to the dark times of the dictatorship and colonial war, and give us to know different female profiles of different looks of liberation, social struggle and the treatment of politics.

Great pain, hatred and suffering have reached many Portuguese families during the colonial war. A woman is the worst to get the news that her son, her brother, her friend, her boyfriend or husband will go to the troops and then go to Africa. The Colonial War was, like all the wars, was an unfair and cruel war. Portugal lived under a fascist regime that was thirsty for power and wanted to carry its colonial program, withdrawn, hate and destruction. At this time, women played an important role, especially those who were formally raised, exploited, and humiliated to the role of “household angels”, especially in the competition of the dictatorship and conservative and conservative patriarchal system. Many of them were the goal of repression, persecuted, detained and tortured and quiet.

Sylvia plays a young woman named Sylvia Sio Atlia, a hard, practically illiterate life, Armmando (Rodrigo Domas), a young man, eventually descending into a foreign war. Isabel, a woman of high society, has been in deep pain and suffering since Victoria Kuerra lost her husband in Africa. It does not have access to your bank account and can not even sign a check, so it feels a lot of the luxurious and hatefulness of the regime. Enter the work market again and you know your weapons and fights in the factory. Madalina Almeta plays a dreamer named Diolese, and is ready to go to the fight and face everything, even the mother (Sylvia Philip). Sarah Karinhaz Lourdes plays a politically political and unionized woman, encouraging colleagues to fight war, fascism, equal rights and freedom. There is a story of thousands of Portuguese in the history of these four women. There is a story of many anonymous women in the SMS.

The days of celebrating the 51st anniversary of the April Revolution, we lifted the dictatorship and gave us freedom and democracy. By the way, the series ends on April 25. After all these years, the fight is not over and our hands cannot be reduced. Over the past five decades of democracy, Portugal has changed a lot. We were able to make the best social, political and cultural changes. With April 25, the war ended. The freedom process of colonialization and the independence process of the African territories was long and complicated, but it is true and very important to return from the end of the war and the arrival of independence.

However, the colonial war continues to refer to the lives of different people. There are public cases, such as depression, anxiety and disability that has reached the majority of ex -combatants. Theme is a barrier for decades in the armed forces and the country. But the racist and hatred that can be seen today in the Portuguese society has contacts with the colonial past. Portuguese colonialism is a barrier. In some schools, the colonial past is still romantic, gold and often massacred and atrocities under the carpet. It is important to break this approach once and for all. But when returning to better social changes, women do not have to ask for permission to do their lives, travel or work. During the revolution, then they came to the street with a high head and Curve Fist. The struggle to eradicate IVG is the longest fight. The third biggest cause of secret abortion was the death of maternal death in Portugal.

The women had cases reported by their own girlfriends or husbands, and then they were humiliated in the courtroom rooms. As I said, this is a long and hard fight. “Crime is in law! The criminals are you!” This led to the unity of the massive women who shouted. This record came in 2007 many years later, by the second referendum. April 25 made promises on gender equality. The women were free to make their choices and challenged the rules. They began to occupy the long -term denial of positions and activities, often became universities and have sex and reproductive rights, which gave the power to determine their lives.

But not to be wrong, because there is still a lot of way to do it, you have to do it! As for equality, this is still a distant truth. Women get less than men for the same job, less mentioned in the Republic’s Assembly, the administrations of large corporations, and the industries that are linked to science and technology.

In addition, they work for more hours, especially in homework and family care, and maternity issues are very weak in employment. Another problem that affects women in this country is home violence, the crime of killing in Portugal. We continue to fail! Justice continues to fail! We have a lot of work in front of us!

Brave actresses! Brava Piliba Martins! Brava historian Irene Pimemental, a great mark for me in charge of the historical consultation of this project! The CDs should be viewed by all, especially for the younger, because all these are not a distant past. This is the most recent! For those who are not seen, it is available in TVI player. It’s a wonderful and well -built and real series with a wonderful and luxury actors! It ends with the following message: “The rights of seized are not permanent. The threat to these rights is real and a clear possibility of recession.” We will not download our hands! The fight continues! Women, weapons!
