50 years after the Spring 1968 revolutions shook the world, In the Intense Now immerses us in the uprisings as they unfolded in Paris, Prague, Rio de Janeiro, and Beijing. Brilliantly weaving together rare amateur films, rare on the ground archives, and stunning home footage, acclaimed Brazilian director João Moreira Salles captures the raw excitement and idealism of the 1960s with profound beauty—asking us to reflect on the true legacy of revolutionary change. What happens when the ecstasy and fervor of political upheaval gives way to daily life?
