Winner of the 2025 Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama: Fernanda Torres

Based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva's best-selling memoir in which his mother is forced into activism when her husband was captured by a military regime in Brazil, 1964.
Celebrated Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) directs a masterful historical drama.

One afternoon in 1971, Rubens Paiva, a former congressman and outspoken critic of Brazil's newly instituted military dictatorship, was taken from his home in Rio de Janeiro by government officials, told nothing more than that he must give a "deposition" to authorities, and disappeared. Adapted from his son's memoir, this overwhelming, richly realised political drama from Salles stays tightly wedded to the perspective of Rubens's wife, Eunice (a shattering Fernanda Torres), whose indefatigable search for the truth about her husband would stretch out for decades.

A devastating true story, I'm Still Here is exhilarating in its portrayal of human tenacity in the face of injustice.
