In this video, tour guide and history student Gregorio Martins explores the behind-the-scenes aspects and impacts of the transfer of Brazil's capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília, inaugurated on April 21, 1960. The presentation delves into the chronology of this idea, which dates back to the fear of foreign invasions during the colonial period and the proposals of José Bonifácio during the Empire, up to the consolidation of the project by Juscelino Kubitschek in the 1950s. In addition to addressing official discourses of national integration, the video reveals JK's hidden motivations (such as distancing himself from popular pressures), narrates the resistance of politicians and public officials to moving to the "end of the world," and finally, analyzes the harsh economic and social impacts that the weakening of federal power left as a legacy for Rio de Janeiro.

Acho que esta é " a sua praia" : História. História do Rio com suas peculiaridades, a sua Cultura, Arquitetura, os Tipos humanos, os Bairros, costumes cariocas, que moldaram o "espirito carioca". A gente sente seu amor passar através dos videos, verdadeiras Aulas.
E sobre este video sobre transferência da Capital para Brasilia, conheci muita gente que foi pessoalmente afetada a nível familiar , com destruiçao de casamentos, lacos familiares e adoecimento, devido a esse fato.
E , no vídeo, para mim faltou falar do papel das Empreiteiras.
Gostei muito!
