Organized by the Direction of the Regional Organization of Porto of the Portuguese Communist Party and by the Matosinhos City Hall, the exhibition aims to show and to pay tribute to generations of fishermen who, in Matosinhos, fought for their rights and for better living conditions, while facing the repression of the fascist dictatorship that haunted the country for almost half a century.

This documentary exhibition will give particular emphasis to the 71 days strike, between April 10th and June 20th 1959, from which the fishermen emerged victorious, highlighting also several other days of struggle carried out by the class until the revolution of April 25th 1974.
