Religious fundemanetalism and homophobia with their claws on Brazilian Parliament; a gay leftwing MP was in the spotlight

[guisreis · 8/10 · 7 June 2021]

Very important, encompassing and well done documentary about Christian fundamentalism and far right reactionarism and its homophobic crusade in Brazil, centered in the struggles in Lower House, where gay member of Parliament Jean Wyllys faced extremism from federal deputies such as Bolsonaro and Feliciano and from fundamentalist activists. Brazilian politics changed for (much) worse since 2013, and what the film shows is one of the core elements of that backlash.
