Somos Famílias Diferentes?

E Depois da Revolução? – Season 2

How have Portuguese families changed over the past 50 years? This documentary explores the transformation of family life since the 25 April 1974 Revolution. Large, traditional households with rigid gender roles have given way to smaller, more diverse, and more equal families. Scientific advances, including widespread access to contraception and family planning, gave women greater control over their lives and helped reshape society. The film also examines the rise of cohabitation, higher divorce rates, single-parent and blended families, and the recognition of same-sex marriage and adoption rights. Through expert analysis, it reveals how changing social values, greater personal freedoms, and evolving family structures have redefined family life in modern Portugal.
