The Trial
President Dilma Rousseff was removed from office in 2016 because of a corruption scandal that involved her then vice-president, Michel Temer. This led to her impeachment and removal. From the point of view of Rousseff's defense team, Maria Augusta Ramos is a movie director. There are many people in this courtroom drama, and they all show up one by one. This makes the courtroom drama more like theater. Inside the courtroom, big emotions are played to the fullest. On the other side of the door, lobbyists and supporters are walking down the hallways, too. A Greek chorus of protesters are singing outside the modernist government buildings in front of Brasil's modernist government buildings as well. Only the main character, Rousseff herself, is professional and aloof in this story.
