    • In this essay, I examine two 21st century documentaries dealing broadly with the ways in which the Second World War was experienced in Portugal. Daniel Blaufuks’ DVD Sob céus estranhos [Under Strange Skies] and Fantasia Lusitana [Lusitanian Fantasy], by João Canijo, ask viewers to revisit the epoch and to question the Portuguese leader’s motives for maintaining neutrality during the Second World War.
