National Truth Commission on Indigenous Peoples
2015 / Spcine Series Development Grant
produced by: VU
Through the Spcine Series Development Grant, Laura Faerman followed and documented the work of the National Truth Commission on Indigenous Peoples, which investigated for the first time the human rights violations committed by the Brazilian state against Indigenous communities of various ethnicities during the civil-military dictatorship (1964–1985). She traveled across the country recording previously unknown stories: forced removals, enslavement, rape, torture, assassinations, illegal imprisonment, among other violations. It is estimated that over 8,300 Indigenous people were killed during the dictatorship in Brazil.Based on this research, she wrote the script for the series A Memória Perigosa (Dangerous Memory).
