Órfãos do imperador

Abstract

Orfãos do Imperador is a documentary that addresses a group of people who are followers of a radical political movement – not only in its essence, but in its very existence – and which is linked to the beginnings of the world: monarchism. The film addresses the perspectives of these people, their engagement at this time, in addition to bringing counterpoints from historical points of view and political studies for the restoration of the Brazilian Empire. In the film, different aspects of this issue were addressed, which may be linked beyond the desire to implement a new government system, but also in connection with social, cultural aspects and even linked to dissatisfaction with political groups. In summary, the documentary seeks to understand how the monarchist movement persists in Brazil after more than 134 years since the proclamation of the republic, and the possibilities lost for the implementation of this new political system.
