Combining two filmic strategies – the self-fictionalization of characters and the resignification of the official archival materials – the Brazilian documentary A cidade é uma só? presents a radical critique to the discourse of power that covered the Invasion Eradication Campaign (Campanha de Erradicação de Invasões – CEI). The campaign was made to remove the poor that occupied the surroundings of Brasília, that was under construction to become the latter Brazil's capital back in the 70s, therefore forming the so-called satellite towns..This article analyses, by filmic materiality, how Adirley Queirós’ documentary enables the resignification of a collective memory made by characters self-empowerment through the representation of themselves in conflict with the establishment of power. Hence, the filmic enunciation is therefore structured by the sense of dissensus, which is proper of political aesthetics (RANCIÈRE, 2005b).
