Breaking Myths (2022)

“Breaking Myths” aims to open the world’s eyes to the fragile and “catastrophic masculinity” of Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro, a fanatical far-right politician who can best be described as the Brazilian Donald Trump. 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, Cosmic Dog Studios.
