Hoje is a 2011 Brazilian drama film directed by Tata Amaral, based on the book "Prova Contrária", by Fernando Bonassi.[1] The film was the winner of the 44th Festival de Brasília in 2011.[2]

Starring Denise Fraga, the film tells the story of Vera, a woman who fought against the military dictatorship in Brazil and began to receive a compensation from the Government for the disappearance of her husband by Brazil's brutal military dictatorship, which arrested and tortured thousands and killed or "disappeared" many of its victims.[3][4]
