Overview:

In 2012, Rodrigo Piquet, from the Museu do Índio, showed Marcelo Zelic, from the group Tortura Nunca Mais, a film he had found called ‘Arara‘. The title did not refer to the animal, nor to the people known by that name. Zelic underline it as an important probative record on the teaching of torture during the military dictatorship. They were images of the graduation of the Guarda Rural Indígena, in Belo Horizonte, produced by the anthropologist Jesco Von Puttkamer (1919-1994) in 1970.
