ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the role of mediatic narrative in building the memory of the Brazilian military dictatorship through the documentary ‘Note Well (Bacuri).’ 1 The film tells the story of Bacuri, a former guerrilla fighter killed by repression forces, through the testimonies of his wife (Denise) and his daughter (Eduarda), who did not know him. The Amnesty Commission considered her an amnestied, and an excerpt of this ceremony is used in the film. I support the hypothesis that the reappropriation of this and other audio-visual materials can establish a spiral of references that reinforce a certain memory of the dictatorship.
