Who gets to write history? The people who lived it or the institutions that explain it afterward? In modern democracies, major political events are often remembered through the narratives of governments, media organizations, and public commentators. Yet the voices of those who were there - the people who experienced these moments firsthand - are often missing.
For American readers, the parallels may feel familiar. In the wake of a deeply contested election, thousands of Brazilians gathered in the nation's capital, driven by concerns about their country's future and disstrust of political institutions. As in the United States after the 2020 election, the aftermath beame a struggle over competing narratives and interpretations. But what did the participants themselves experience? What did the cameras actually record? Through firsthand testimony, historial context, and powerful photography, this book revisits one of the most consequential moments in contemporary Brazilian history. Seen through the photographer's lens, these pages tell a story of faith, patriotism, and a movement whose participants believed they were defending their nation's future. This is not the story told from afar. It is the story of someone who was there.
