The documentary follows the events behind the mysterious attack on presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro on 6 September, 2018, when Adélio Bispo stabbed the candidate during a rally in Minas Gerais. Did he acted alone as everyone believes or a conspiracy involving people close to the politician were involved in order to get gain an election? Several questions are raised in this special report.

The movie is a collage and comentary of varied third party footage on news relating to each and every one of the eight Presidents of Brazil who took office since the end of the military government, from José Sarney to Jair Bolsonaro.

“Breaking Myths” aims to open the world’s eyes to the fragile and “catastrophic masculinity” of Brazil’s current President Jair Bolsonaro, a fanatical far-right politician who can best be described as the Brazilian Donald Trump — and who is up for a second term this October. 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, FilmSoul Studios.

What would the pandemic have been like in Brazil if the government had used all the potential that the SUS (Brazilian Federal Health System) offers?

Football, betting, agriculture, technology, conspiracy theories and the second round of one of the most turbulent elections in the history of Brazilian politics. The daily political debate in a small newsstand in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul and the sound, visual and spatial noises of the contemporary agora.

When Jair Bolsonaro was elected president this fall, it was with the support of Brazil's most conservative forces: the Christian right, the military and the landowners. With a program against abortion and same-sex marriage but for traditional family structures, the right to carry weapons and an expanded exploitation of the Amazon, Brazil is moving towards an increasingly repressive policy where dissidents are labeled as terrorists and where military and police powers are extended.
