Where To Watch I’m Still Here (2024)

I’m Still Here is a powerful Brazilian historical drama set in Rio de Janeiro in 1971, during the country's military dictatorship. The story follows Eunice Paiva, a mother of five played by Fernanda Torres, whose seemingly ordinary family life is shattered when her husband, former politician Rubens Paiva, is taken away by government authorities and disappears. Forced to confront uncertainty while protecting her children, Eunice gradually transforms from a devoted mother and wife into a determined advocate for truth and justice. The film explores family, grief, political repression and resilience without relying heavily on conventional melodrama. Fernanda Torres' restrained performance gives Eunice an extraordinary sense of strength, while Selton Mello portrays Rubens Paiva and Fernanda Montenegro appears as an older Eunice. The movie is based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva's memoir Ainda Estou Aqui, making the story deeply connected to real events in Brazilian history.
