“Simple and effective … Maia is seen, simultaneously, as a hero and an anti-hero, the one who faced, eye to eye, the weapons of the dictatorship, and the one who was left behind by the country he saved.”

Manuel Halpern, Visão

A key figure in 20th-century Portuguese history, Salgueiro Maia was an army captain who commanded military actions during the tumultuous period that saw the overthrow of the Salazar regime in April 1974, in what came to be called the Carnation Revolution. This powerful biographical drama tells the story of Maia’s coming of age as a young man who proudly enlisted in the military, only to then realize that he must battle the systemic injustices of his nation’s military and political elites. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. The Implicated is an inspiring chronicle of one of that revolutionary moment’s national heroes.
