About Who's Afraid of Cris Negão?
Cristiane Jordan, or Cris Negão, as she was called, was a transvestite who worked as a bawd in downtown of São Paulo known by her violent methods to control the other transvestites. Hated and feared by a legion, she also had her fans until she was tragically murdered with two shots in the head. The documentary is a dive into the transvestite universe through the stories of this legendary character of São Paulo's underworld.
Directed by René Guerra, Who's Afraid of Cris Negão? leans on a strong ensemble — Thalia Bombinha, Phedra D.Cordoba, Roberta Gretchen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2012.
