About

What is documentary or fiction? What has changed since April 25? In this media show, the audience is invited to debate which fundamental rights promised by democracy have yet to be fulfilled.

Historical Background: Freedom Day is celebrated in Portugal on April 25th. This date commemorates the revolt of the Portuguese military, who on April 25, 1974, carried out a military coup d’état, putting an end to the dictatorial regime of the Estado Novo, which was led by António de Oliveira Salazar. The Armed Forces Movement, made up of soldiers who had taken part in the Colonial War and university students, had the support of the Portuguese population. The symbol of April 25 is the carnation, the flower that the population placed on the arms of the military on that day. The celebration of Freedom Day in Portugal, also known as the day of the Carnation Revolution, recalls the importance of freedom in the country.
