Biography
Leon Hirszman (Rio de Janeiro, November 22, 1937 — Rio de Janeiro, September 15, 1987) was a Brazilian filmmaker and one of the main exponents of the movement known as Cinema Novo. A member of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), his work is marked by the influence of central Marxist theses in political debates in Latin America and by the politicized representation of the working class.
