The Truth About Bolsonaro

To his supporters, he is "The Myth" - a providential savior sent to reclaim the nation. To his critics, he is a threat to the very foundations of democracy. Jair Bolsonaro did not ascend to the Brazilian presidency by chance. His 2018 victory gave a megaphone to a deeply conservative, hardline faction of Brazil that had long existed beneath the international surface. This documentary explores the complex reality of a leader who built a political identity on being "politically incorrect," challenging global norms on environmental protection, human rights, and public health.
