Who Wants to Steal Your Beach?

You know that beach you go to for a bit of rest? They want to take it away from you. The so-called "Beach Amendment" (PEC das Praias)—championed in the Senate by Flávio Bolsonaro—could change who owns the Brazilian coastline, an area that belongs to everyone, by handing control over to hotels, resorts, and luxury condominium developments. In practice, these developments would take over the entire beach area, leaving access to the sand and the sea exclusively to tourists—while you, as a Brazilian resident, would lose your access to the beach. This model already exists in places like Cancún and Jamaica: there, the people in bikinis are foreigners, while the locals are the ones wearing uniforms and working. And that is exactly what could happen if Flávio Bolsonaro becomes president of Brazil.

A Colisão dos Destinos

From childhood to the presidency of Brazil, the documentary follows Jair Bolsonaro’s trajectory, tracing his background, military career, and the path that led to his political rise.

Perigo

Anatomy of Chaos

With unprecedented access to the Brazilian Senate, director Dandara Ferreira follows the entire trajectory of the Covid-19 Parliamentary Inquiry from the inside, transforming this exclusive footage into a cinematic record of one of the most defining moments of the pandemic in Brazil.

A Familiar Pain

Some politicians argue that buying a gun should be as simple as getting a driver’s license. But will having more guns actually protect your family? Flávio Bolsonaro and his allies want to make it even easier to access firearms in Brazil. When the Jair Bolsonaro administration relaxed gun regulations, legally purchased weapons ended up in the hands of organized crime, while women and children became even more exposed to violence. In the final episode of the season, Alessandra Orofino, general director of *Revelando*, reveals how the Bolsonaros’ gun policy has put even more Brazilian lives at risk.

Flavinho de Papai

People who have never had to do real work want to convince you that the best approach is to cut investments for those who are out there grinding every day. Flávio Bolsonaro—who was accused of being a "ghost employee" in Jair’s office at the age of 19 and has always lived off his father—wants to cut the very things that have helped millions of Brazilians get ahead in life: social security, healthcare, education, the *Bolsa Família* welfare program, and labor rights. This is the man who wants to be president of Brazil. If Flávio wins, you lose.

A Guerra à Santa

Why does a Saint provoke such hatred in those who seek to rule the country? For many people, Our Lady of Aparecida is the patroness of Brazil—the mother of Jesus. Yet, Bishop JB Carvalho has labeled Aparecida the “right-hand woman of Satan” and called for her to be stripped of her status as Brazil’s patroness. It was in his very church that Flávio Bolsonaro chose to be baptized. Among so many pastors, why surround oneself with someone who spreads hatred against people’s faith?

Breaking Myths

“Breaking Myths” aims to open the world’s eyes to the fragile and “catastrophic masculinity” of Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro, a fanatical far-right politician who can best be described as the Brazilian Donald Trump. The story is told through the lens of the critically acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker and LGBTQ activist Fernando Grostein Andrade (“Abe” Sundance 19), who directed, wrote, and produced the feature alongside creative partner Fernando Siqueira as the first release under his production company in California, Cosmic Dog Studios.

Life in Gray

A faux documentary about the ongoing social, political and economical crisis in Brazil, where the government cuts the colors of Rio de Janeiro, turning the city black and white.

Auto de Resistência

A documentary about the Rio de Janeiro police killings praticed as so-called "self-defense acts". The film follows people who deal with those deaths in their daily lives, showing how Brazil's Federal Government deals with these cases, from the police investigations to the courtrooms.
