A view of Brazil's 2018 Presidential Elections, held in October of that year. The polarizing Election led to the rise of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro

“Breaking Myths” aims to open the world’s eyes to the fragile and “catastrophic masculinity” of Brazil’s current President Jair Bolsonaro, a fanatical far-right politician who can best be described as the Brazilian Donald Trump — and who is up for a second term this October. The story is told through the lens of the critically acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker and LGBTQ activist Fernando Grostein Andrade (“Abe” Sundance 19), who directed, wrote, and produced the feature alongside creative partner Fernando Siqueira as the first release under his production company in California, FilmSoul Studios.

São Paulo, 2016 municipal elections. A small film crew left Rio de Janeiro with the goal of following the last campaign weekend of former senator Eduardo Suplicy, then running for councilman. Between political agendas and moments of his daily routine and private life, the film shows the post-impeachment scenario of Brazil, while approaching one of the most iconic figures in Brazilian politics.
