00:00This film was made with the support of the European Union and the European Council on Human Rights.

00:12This great nation that we want to be is you, because you are young,

00:18who have to build it with the rightness of your intentions,

00:22with your loyalty.

00:24Without loyalty there can be no understanding.

00:28Do not have any doubt that at this time in Portuguese history,

00:36because young people have a great word to say.

00:41This moment is the representation of the students of the University of Lima.

00:46I ask for permission to speak.

00:49The answer was silence.

00:52The students were forbidden to speak.

00:55It was the 17th of April. That night I was arrested by the PIDE.

00:58On the 22nd of April, in Assembleia Magna, the academic mourning was declared.

01:04I am sure that the order will be reestablished at the University of Coimbra.

01:13The academic association in football had a brutal force.

01:16There was an impoverished stadium in the order.

01:19The academy fell there.

01:21Thousands of people.

01:22We saw the PIDE steal our colleagues.

01:25We entered slowly, with the hood down,

01:29as a sign of academic mourning,

01:31to show our solidarity with the students.

01:37The game usually takes place with a heavy air,

01:41at the interval of lifting those posters.

01:45From then on, a large part of the stadium,

01:48was filled with students, with a strong political weight.

01:53In fact, it was the biggest rally ever held in Portugal, until today.
