Film Description:
On the 10th of June 1995, under the multiple pretext of celebrating the Race Day and the victory of Sporting for the Cup of Portugal, a large group of Portuguese ethno-nationalists went to the streets of Bairro Alto to beat up black people they met along the way. The official result was 11 victims, one of them deadly, whose tragic death on Rua Garret gives name to the court case – the Alcindo Monteiro case. Alcindo is a documentary about a long night – a night with the size of a country.
