Filming for a movie about his life, produced by the UNE’s CPC and the Pernambuco popular culture movement, began in 1964, featuring a fictionalized reenactment of the political activism that led to his murder. Production involved peasants from the Galiléia plantation (Pernambuco) and João Pedro’s widow, Elizabeth Teixeira, but was halted by 1964’s military coup. Seventeen years later, in 1981, director Eduardo Coutinho resumes the project, seeking out Elizabeth and other participants from the interrupted film, such as the peasants who had been active in the leagues.</div>DocumentaryPT2H12A2026-12-10BRpt
