Threats and violence are common tactics of right-wing extremists within Brazil’s divided society. Their unprecedented attack on symbols of democracy was intended to trigger a coup and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
When right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro was defeated by his liberal left-wing opponent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in January 2023, thousands of disaffected voters attacked Brazil’s most important state buildings. The creators of the documentary began mapping the environment of far-right movements 2 years before these riots broke out. A disparate group of people operating in all walks of life often base their dogmas on false messages that have been normalized by the government of the day. A comprehensive probe into the practices of these extremists presents a portrait of political radicalisation and current forms of internet propaganda that can mobilise the masses.
