Brazil is celebrating its first ever Oscar Best Picture nomination with Walter Salles's Portuguese language drama, 'I'm Still Here.'

The movie, about the real life disappearance of Congressman Rubens Paiva in 1971, is also nominated for Best International Picture, and Fernanda Torres, who plays activist Eunice Paiva, also has a Best Actress nomination - a quarter century after her own mother, Fernanda Montenegro, was nominated for an Academy Award.

As Tom Brook reports, the film has caused Brazil to re-examine the period in which it is set, when the country was ruled by military dictatorship.
