Living in Freedom - Portraits of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform is a mini-documentary of historical character. In the first block, the compilation of iconographies from the 1960-70s shows the degrading conditions of one of the largest Brazilian psychiatric hospitals; the second block presents images of people who survived long psychiatric hospitalizations and emphasizes care in freedom, resulting from public policies of the XX-XXI century (testimonies from Barbacena, Juiz de Fora - MG and Paracambi - RJ, 2018-19). The last block is dedicated to the setbacks of the contemporary moment that threaten the assurance of their Human Rights.
