Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt We continue our coverage from the Edinburgh International Festival, where acclaimed Brazilian actor and filmmaker Wagner Moura stars in the play _A Trial — after An Enemy of the People_. A sequel to the 1882 Henrik Ibsen play _An Enemy of the People_, _A Trial — after An Enemy of the People_ interrogates themes of authoritarianism, misinformation and public judgement. It is directed by Brazil's Christiane Jatahy. "We in Brazil, we know what a dictatorship is. We know how harmful that is, how horrible that is, how bad that is," says Moura, referencing the military dictatorship in Brazil that took place from 1964 to 1985. He draws parallels between that period and the leadership of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is in prison for an attempted coup d'état.
