Docuseries about the shipwreck that shocked Brazil in 1988, a disaster marked by greed, negligence and impunity.

Next Year is a haunting drama set in the not so distant dystopian future that unfolds in a fractured America where homosexuality is illegal and surveillance reigns. The story centers on Robert, a grieving father who is navigating life after the loss of his husband and the terrifying state of the country.

On a small island at the mouth of the Amazon River, Dominique reminisces about her life as a trans woman: from a strict religious childhood to living with a conservative gay uncle, from moving to São Paulo to entering a life of prostitution and being a victim of police brutality.

CHASE is a queer performative portrait of the first male dancer in modern ballet history to perform as a part of a female ensemble at an international ballet company. While pursuing the dream of being a ballerina and fighting for an inclusive ballet world, he is in a constant chase to find his own voice.

Artists, producers and journalists talk about the new Electro Scene that took over New York's nightlife in the early 2000's.

The series Geografia da Arte analyzes the relation between artists and the places that inspire them. Two episodes will be screened. In "Ragnar Kjartansson + Iceland", one of the most important artists of contemporary art prepares a retrospective at the Reykjavík Museum of Art, exploring his connection with the country's culture. In "Henri Cartier-Bresson + India" we discover how the photographer met Mahatma Gandhi in 1948. His camera recorded the leader’s last appearance on night before his assassination. The photographs helped catapult Cartier-Bresson to international fame as a photojournalist.

Yves Saint Laurent had become the biggest star of French fashion in the sixties, when he opened his own haute couture house after a three year stint at Christian Dior. He and his partner Pierre Bergé were vacationing in Morocco when they both fell in love with the country's culture and people. They immediately purchased a house in Marrakesh, where Saint Laurent said he "discovered the magic of color." Over the years, he continued spending time in Marrakech and drawing inspiration from Moroccan culture for his collections. After his death in 2008, his ashes were spread at Jardin Marjorelle, a park that Saint Laurent restored and opened to the public as a gift to Morocco.
