The Peruvian faces are completely different from that faces in Argentina and in Brazil.

At the beginning I was very unsure that it was even possible to do this adaptation because it was such sacred territory in the whole of Latin America; not only the book itself but the iconic quality of Guevara, which is very intimidating.

So when I was very young, I longed for Brazil.

I think I turned to documentary film-making very early on as a way to know a little bit more about my country and my roots.

I come from Brazil, which is a Portuguese speaking part of the continent.

With Central Station, the story was basically about the recuperation of one's identity and also, an investigation into the country's identity.

There's a really interesting French historian called Delumeau, who did a book called History of Fear, about how fear has been used throughout the ages to impose a dominant point of view.

It was a complex endeavor so without Robert Redford's constant support we wouldn't have gotten to the end.

And what the Italian realists created was not only an aesthetic revolution but also an ethical revolution which influenced the Nouvelle Vague and Cinema Novo in Brazil.

I wouldn't like turning anything that is Brazilian into a North American narrative.

No, I worked a lot for European television, doing documentaries in Brazil.

I come from a country and also a continent whose identity is in the making. We're a very young culture, and I think that things are not yet crystallised.

I recently did a documentary on 12-year-old kids that entered drug movements in the slums in Rio.

I'm much more interested in living specific experiences in films.

And my generation in Brazil was influenced by Cinema Novo. So we're echoing what's been done way in the past.

But I also think that the more you reason collectively about what the project should be at the beginning of the process, the more you can improvise later.

We were quasi-knowledgeable about the cultures we originated from but we didn't know as much as we should about the other countries from South America.

A filmmaker can never be distant from his roots.

Actually, I didn't generate this project - it was Robert Redford, whose Sundance Institute was very instrumental in the making of Central Station: we received a screenplay prize prior to the film being made, which helped immensely in making the film a reality.

The films that I've done before were original stories most of the time, I did two adaptations before this, but they were mostly original stories where I had complete freedom to evolve in the direction I wanted.
