If we are to use the cinema as a historical source, we also have to focus on that which is not a film: the actors, the production, the public, thecritics. With that in mind, this article analyzes the repercussion of the film Lamarca (1994) in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo. We tackle questions such as the military police of São Paulo shooting another film to oppose the version of Lamarca, the attempt at finding and apprehending the copies of the film with a lawsuit brought by the general Nilton Cerqueira, the resentment of a guerrilla fighter towards a polemical fact started by an article discussing the film. These conflicts belie different perceptions about this recent period (military dictatorship) of our history.
