Folha de São Paulo

The challenges to keep the forest standing

Videogibi: A Ilha Misteriosa is a 1999 Brazilian animated film, based on the homonymous comic book by Mauricio de Sousa. It was distributed by Publifolha and produced by Mauricio de Sousa Produções.

In the month of the Brazil World Cup, the documentary shows how the demonstrations against an increase in public transportation fares in São Paulo in June of 2013, evolved to national scale, reaching hundreds of cities. The movement took over one million people to the streets and it became an uprising against corruption, the lack of public services and the copious spendings on the World Cup. The film proposes a reflection on the changes conquered by protesters and asks the question: will tomorrow be bigger?
