In 1962, Coutinho, replacing a cameraman of Centro Popular de Cultura (CPC), shot a protest over the death of Teixeira in Paraíba and met for the first time Elizabeth, Teixeira's widow. When he returned to Rio de Janeiro, he received the proposal of directing a film for CPC. Initially he wanted to adapt the João Cabral de Melo Neto's poems "Cão sem plumas", "O rio" and "Vida e morte Severina" but after the refusal of the poet he decided to film the life of Texeira. In 1963, he went to Paraíba and Pernambuco and within three days he wrote a screenplay based on Mrs. Teixeira's accounts. Coutinho started to shot the film in 1964, and to be more authentic, he cast Mrs. Teixeira as herself, and other farmers in the other roles. He wanted to film in Sapé but because of local conflicts he moved the filming location to Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco. However, after 35 days, and with about 40 percent of the film complete, the Brazilian military dictatorship arrested some members of cast and crew for being politically dangerous.〔〔 The government tried to confiscate its footage, but Coutinho was able to keep it.〔 Returning to the region where ''Twenty Years later'' was shot to produce other documentaries in 1979, Coutinho thought about resuming the film. He also concluded he needed to make a different kind of project, and that he and all the crew of the 1964 film would feature on it. In 1984, he showed what he had filmed to Mrs. Teixeira and local people and documented their reactions to it and the changing times.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Cabra Marcado Para Morrer )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Twenty Years Later」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
