Queimada (aka Burn!) (1969)
In Gillo Pontecorvo's epic drama, secret agent and scoundrel Sir William Walker stirs up a revolution in a Caribbean colony. On a mission to help Britain gain control of a Portuguese sugar cane island, Walker incites the locals to rise up against colonist rule. But a decade after the revolt, political problems continue to plague the small nation, and Walker returns to the island to help the crown protect its economic interests. Our short is Chaplins Police.

Ok, I completely screwed this up. I have the DVD, but downloaded it in any case since it's just easier to play a file, and was too lazy to make my own. I accidentally downloaded the Italian dubbed version (the film is in English & Portuguese) and didn't notice until about 15 minutes into it. Oh well! At least the director was Italian.
