Overview

Voting is much more than marking a ballot—it is the exercise of a hard-won democratic right. This documentary explores the evolution of Portuguese democracy since the 25 April 1974 Revolution, featuring insights from Capicua, Ricardo Araújo Pereira, and leading historians, political scientists, and public figures. It examines the end of censorship, the expansion of civil rights, Portugal's accession to the European Union, and the country's ability to overcome political crises while remaining resilient in the face of modern challenges such as populism, political distrust, low civic participation, and rising voter abstention. Looking back on the past fifty years, the film asks whether Portuguese democracy is facing a crisis and what can be done to strengthen it for future generations.
