BRAZIL, THE GREAT LEAP BACKWARDS

The squandering of a democracy beacon

Synopsis

After President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, Brazil entered a period of intense political instability. The members of Parliament who drove her out are often corrupt themselves and are charged for that, sometimes even with murder.

Between democracy and government graft, this film explores a country where the incredibly powerful and partisan media seems to have silenced the people's voice.

Through Gregorio Duvivier, one of Brazil's most popular humorists and the spearhead of a new online digital resistance, we unearth the dream of a Brazil that could reinvent itself as a model for the whole continent.
