My Body is Political poster
7.7

Paula, Beatriz, Giu and Fernando live in one of the poorest favelas of São Paulo. A world of marginalization and despair, in which they struggle for their rights as transgenders, but also for survival: according to the statistics from the Transgender Europe NGO, Brazil is the nation with the highest number of murders of transgender people each year. The choice to experience your body in complete freedom is a revolutionary concept and highly risky in this context. It is an affirmation of one's being. it is no coincidence that one of them, who has begun the transition phase writes in his diary: "Each hormone pill is a declaration of ownership of my body. After each pill, I feel much better in my own skin". This movie shows their daily life, their struggles and protests in a world where ignorance becomes oppression and hate: in a word transphobia.

The Voice of God poster
NR

Two child preachers search for a better life through the power of faith. 17-year-old Daniel, was once Brazil’s most renowned child preacher; today, as he nears adulthood, he grapples with the weight of an uncertain future. Meanwhile, 12-year-old João Vitor is at the height of his fame, reaching millions through his followers. Amidst livestreams and smartphones, he preaches to the masses. The film uncovers the childhoods concealed behind these public personas, reflecting a country in transition — a place where politics and religion frequently intertwine. As one cycle closes and another opens, they navigate a Brazil that has been forever changed.
