“Workers in the dictatorship” is the first episode of the series Incontáveis, a series that tells stories that are not usually told about the military dictatorship in Brazil. Produced by the UFRJ Memory and Truth Commission, the series seeks to disseminate recent academic research and reports prepared by the truth commissions. The episode seeks to describe the impacts of the dictatorship on rural and urban workers. It addresses topics ranging from economic policy and the wage squeeze and their effects on the living conditions of the working class to frequent cases of political surveillance, interventions and open repression against unions, workers' movements, peasant and workers' leaders. The narrator is Jardel Leal, a former naval worker and economist at DIEESE, who was imprisoned during the dictatorship.
