Synopsis

During the 48 years of dictatorship in Portugal, General Humberto Delgado was one of the most ferocious and daring opponents and a candidate to the Presidential Elections in 1958. On May 22nd, 1958, General Humberto Delgado gave the famous speech that concluded his rally in Chaves, at the Cine-Parque. The secret police, PIDE, destroyed all voice recordings of the General after the campaign, except this one, because it was buried in a backyard for many years. The speech held through time, but the Cine-Parque didn’t.
