Director of the film, she was a member of the MR-8. Severely tortured at the DOI-CODI in Rio de Janeiro, at the Army Military Police barracks on Barão de Mesquita Street, she spent three and a half years imprisoned between the Military Village and the Presídio Talavera Bruce.
A medical student and former Air Force sergeant, he was never imprisoned, remaining in exile until the amnesty, when he returned to Brazil. He was the commander of the guerrilla base that was being set up in the scrubland of Bahia and received Captain Carlos Lamarca in the small town of Buriti Cristalino.
Also a militant of the MR-8, was imprisoned for 8 years, passing through several prisons between Ilha Grande and the prison on Frei Caneca Street. He took part in several hunger strikes, including the last one, carried out by political prisoners shortly before the amnesty, which lasted 32 days.
Lucia went to Bahia in 1970 to organize a group of students who had joined the former Guanabara Dissidence, which by that time had already called itself MR8. There she met Zequinha at a meeting of the various clandestine organizations that operated in Salvador against the dictatorship.
One of the leaders of the Osasco strike in 1968, Zequinha had been imprisoned and tortured. He later joined the VPR (Popular Revolutionary Vanguard), the same organization as Carlos Lamarca. Zequinha was in Salvador representing this organization, which in truth was practically dismantled. Born in the Caatinga (xeric shrubland and thorn forest), in Buriti Cristalino, where his family lived, he intended to establish a base in the region for a future guerrilla in the scrubland. He chose to integrate into the MR8, which at that time was still more structured.
Some time later, Lucia was tracked down and had to go into hiding. The organization then decided to divide the movement in Salvador into two parts. One rural, which would be handed over to João Lopes Salgado, and the urban part, to another person. Practically all the members of this urban part were imprisoned a month after Lucia left Salvador for Rio. Two months later, already in Rio, Lucia was imprisoned and lost contact with what was happening in Bahia. Shortly afterward, Lamarca integrated into the MR-8, together with Yara Yavelberg.
Zequinha's brother; he was wounded during the invasion of Buriti Cristalino. He is the one who recounts in the film how the invasion happened. After years in jail, he returned to live in the region, settling in Brotas de Macaúbas.
