Workshop report: "Restaurierungsbericht und Überblick zur Entstehung und Kontroverse des Films Torre Bela" by Stefan Drößler (Filmmuseum München)

During Portugal’s Carnation Revolution in April 1975, farmhands and workers occupied the estate of a duke in an attempt to take over the land. Filmmaker Thomas Harlan and his cameraman Russell Parker follow the process of expropriation and the search for a new, revolutionary form of organization, as witnesses and quasi participants.
