A film shown at the Flaherty Film Seminar in 1986 may fit this category. A MAN LISTED TO DIE (sorry, that's the best translation of the Portuguese), a.k.a. TWENTY YEARS LATER in U.S. distribution, by Edwardo Coutinho, began as a left-wing propoganda feature on a farm workers' organizer murdered by the landlords, "staring" the man's wife, who had become something of a peasant heroine. The film ran into various problems, including a right-wing coup in 1964; Coutinho returned to the project in 1981 after a civilian government returned. C. had hidden the original negative and used it in the later film, which centers on three elements: the original dramatic footage; the organizer's murder, the political and police reactions, and the wife's rise to prominence, traced in newspaper headlines and interviews; and a search for the participants in the original film, including the wife, who had gone into hiding and hadn't seen her family or friends for 17 years. Showing the original footage to the original participants give a means of comparing attitudes then and now; some of the changes were quite remarkable. But searching for and finding the wife, and then locating her eight children who had been scattered among relatives and friends and contrasting their situation then with their lives and attitudes later, is the heart of the film. And raised considerable discussion about invasion of privacy and the role of the producer and film crew in the search process. It was a provocative example of how to re-examine a social event for which important graphics material--the original footage, old newsreels, newspaper pictures and stories--still exists. One of the better experiences of that Seminar. PJO
