Biography

Olympio Guilherme (January 13, 1902 – August 13, 1973) was a Brazilian journalist, economist, novelist, writer, actor, and filmmaker. Outraged by the treatment that Latin American artists received in the US, he decided to produce the film "Hunger" in 1929 to portray and denounce the hardships they endured.
