		Vargas deportated the pregnant, Jewish wife of Luís Carlos Prestes to Nazi Germany, where she would die in a concentration camp.
		Under the presidency of João Goulart (1961-64)—a protégé of Getúlio Vargas and another gaúcho from Rio Grande do Sul, the closeness of the government to the historically disenfranchised working class and peasantry and even to the Communist Party under none other than Luís Carlos Prestes was equally remarkable.
		Interestingly enough, Goulart appeared to have been co-opting the Communist movement in a manner reminiscent of Vargas' co-optation of the Integralists shortly—and not coincidentally—before his ouster by reactionary forces.

		Maxwell writes: "Távora told Chico Mendes that he had been part of the Prestes Column,… But Távora's participation seems unlikely, since he would have been far too young at the time." Maxwell adds that no one seems to have attempted to verify the claims about Távora.
		I would just like to mention that what Chico Mendes told me was that Távora had taken part in the attempted communist insurrection led by Luis Carlos Prestes in 1935, not the Prestes Column twelve years earlier.

		I really liked the movie but from what I understand it received very mixed reviews (was bashed by critics) when it came out in the theatres.
		I haven't seen it, but since nobody else answered -- the main complaints seem to be a supposedly unconvincing portrayal of Luís Carlos Prestes and a supposed "soap-opera" feel to it, as well as phony-looking winter scenes.
		Prestes himself was not the main character of the movie (as the title suggests) and is seldom talked about, so I can see how some people may have been disapointed.
