The Paradox of Democracy 2019

Over the 2010s decade, even in different contexts and different democracies, the lack of satisfaction of society with politics became an unifying trait that caused riots in Brazil, the United States, France, Egypt and Ukraine. All of those governments fell, whether by force or by elections, but corruption keeps happening in the new governments. "The Paradox of Democracy" analyzes this problem with the help of intellectuals who have been studying 21st-century political science.

8 de Janeiro: O Dia que Abalou o Brasil 2023

Just one week after the inauguration of the new president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, supporters of his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, invaded and vandalized the headquarters of the three branches of government in Brasília: the National Congress, the Planalto Palace and the Supreme Federal Court. Unhappy with their defeat at the polls and guided by fake news and conspiracy theories, many of the pro-Bolsonaro invaders believed that the Armed Forces would overthrow the newly inaugurated government. The images of destruction made headlines around the world. In this special documentary, reporter Camilla Veras Mota and video journalist Giovanni Bello went to Brasília to speak with witnesses of what happened that day and, with the help of experts, piece together the pieces that made the January 8 attacks possible.
