Ainda Estou Aqui (I’m Still Here), winner of the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards (2025), tells the powerful true story of Rubens Paiva’s arrest and disappearance in 1970s Rio de Janeiro and his wife Eunice’s relentless fight for the truth amid Brazil’s military dictatorship (1964–1985).

Based on the novel by Marcelo Rubens Paiva—son of Rubens and Eunice—the film portrays the Paiva family’s struggle to uncover Rubens’ fate in a nation gripped by political repression. The trauma of her husband's disappearance drives Eunice to study law, ultimately becoming a leading advocate for Indigenous rights in Brazil.

We invite the MSU community and the general public to a free screening and discussion on political oppression, censorship, fear, trauma, democratic challenges, and social upheaval. Faculty members will facilitate the conversation, encouraging critical engagement with the film’s historical and contemporary relevance.

This event is free and open to the public.

Good Workers, Government Workers: Public Memory and the Murrah Building Bombing

A monumental twelve-foot-by-fifteen-foot quilt commemorating eighty-nine federal workers murdered in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 was the result of a collaborative, nationwide effort organized by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). Originally intended for the newly rebuilt federal building in Oklahoma City, the quilt was instead added to the collections of the MSU Museum, where it has been stored for twenty-five years. A new exhibit of the quilt opens this October at the MSU Union.
