From its very title, Cláudio Kahns and Antônio Paulo Ferraz's Santo e Jesus, Metalúrgicos is crystal clear about where it stands and about its messianic flair. Through a wordplay with the religious connotation of the names of the two men, murdered during the worker strikes of the late 1970s in São Paulo, it associates sainthood and Christ himself with the working class. That association is reaffirmed throughout the film, from the very beginning, including by a priest. The martyrdom of metalworkers Nelson Pereira de Jesus and Santo Dias da Silva is the starting point to denounce the working conditions faced by factory workers, and the repression which ensues whenever they try to resist them. However, the film also presents us with the 'official' version of the facts, going so far as to feature interviews with the man who killed Nelson. Obviously, it sides with the workers, as it conveys the strength of the oppressed and the impudence of the oppressors.

Experimental documentary about the life and work of obscure samba musician Vassourinha (1923-1942), born in São Paulo, who only recorded six 78rpm records, dying at 19.
In 1968, at the height of the military dictatorship, Claudio Kahns closely followed the political and historical events that mobilized the city of São Paulo. Among them was the death of high school student José Guimarães, murdered during the clashes of the Battle of Maria Antônia, an episode that profoundly marked the Brazilian student movement. Sensitive to the moment and aware of the historical gravity of those days, Claudio took his Super 8 camera to one of the main demonstrations held in protest against the student's death. The result is an impressive record of the city in turmoil: streets filled with students, posters, slogans, and the latent tension of a country living under repression.
The documentary covers the first phase of the brazilian metalworkers' strike in 1979.
