Abstract
The article interprets the film Batismo de Sangue (2007), through the cinematic form of the flashback, around the torture and death of Frei Tito. Our hypotheses are: this film tries to deal with the legal amnesia imposed by the Amnesty Law of the crimes of the Brazilian Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985); since the testimonial ethic (Agamben and Gagnebin), we understand the film itself as a flashback, not of trauma, but of testemonie.
