Case of the Naves Brothers is a 1967 Brazilian drama film directed by Luis Sérgio Person. Based on the João Alamy Filho novel of the same name, it follows the story of Joaquim and Sebastião Naves, who were arrested during the Estado Novo dictatorship in the 1930's and tortured to confessed a crime they had not committed. Produced during the early years of the Military Dictatorship in Brazil, the film draws parallels with the ongoing human and legal violations perpetrated by the regime.
