After almost three decades of democratic stability, Brazil is flirting with fascism. Maria Ramos looks at the decisive role the judiciary has played in this process and how ‘lawfare’—the use of the law as a weapon against political opponents—is endangering democracy. Four journalists investigate how an anti-corruption criminal operation was turned into an instrument of ideological persecution.
First screening followed by a debate in the presence of Maria Augusta Ramos (director), Sílvia Cruz (producer), Leandro Demori (former executive director of The Intercept Brasil) and Antônio Carlos de Almeida Castro (lawyer), and moderated by Lídia Mello (programmer, curator, researcher and film critic).
The second screening will be followed by a debate with Maria Augusta Ramos (director) and João Pedro Diaz (editor).
