Milton Freire, a shout beyond history

The Plot

Milton Freire, a shout beyond historyBrazil, Director - Victor Abreu

A portrait of the poet and writer Milton Freire, who was the first user of mental health services in Brazil to publicly assume his illness and fight for his rights. In a poetic way he relates two visions that guided him through a subjective recovery path.

​

"In a poetic way he relates two visions that guided him through a subjective recovery path. This short film is an extract of a big dive into Milton Freire’s mind, who was a common man that fought all his life to be treated as a human being, with his own affections. The poetry and symbology of his visions inspired me to create a universe that could reflect emotions I felt in the interviews and during the process of making this film. In this portrait, the ruins of a psychiatric hospital, Milton’s apartment and the streets of Rio de Janeiro are the paths that Milton walks to review, reconstruct or reinvent his own history."
