August 29, 1979, Talavera Bruce Penal Institute, Bangu, Rio de Janeiro. After serving eight years in prison, InĂȘs Etienne Romeu, the only survivor of the "House of Death" in PetrĂłpolis and the first political prisoner sentenced to life in prison in Brazil, left prison benefiting from Amnesty. Norma Bengell filmed this moment: from the prison door to her home with her family, InĂȘs was welcomed by family, friends and members of the Brazilian Amnesty Committee, in what marked the first act of the historic denunciation that InĂȘs would carry out against her tormentors and the Military Regime.
