This article deals with how the themes of authoritarianism and democracy are addressed in the films Jânio a 24 Quadros (1981, directed by Luís Alberto Pereira) and Jango (1984, directed by Silvio Tendler), two documentaries produced during the process of redemocratization in Brazil. Through the analysis of the formal/aesthetic aspects of the two films, we intend to establish a dialogue between Documentary Cinema and History of Brazil.
