The Trial
Among those implicated in the 2016 corruption scandal that led to Dilma Rousseff's impeachment and eventual expulsion from office was her then vice president Michel Temer. Maria Augusta Ramos follows the Rousseff trial from the perspective of her defense team. These proceedings take on an almost theatrical quality as numerous parties make their appearances in this judicial drama that plays out over time. Lobbyists and fans walk the halls outside the courthouse as the huge emotions are played out in full. Demonstrators are chanting like a Greek chorus in front of Brasilia's modernist government buildings. Professional and aloof are Rousseft's only attributes.
