Our take
This blistering state-of-the-nation portrait from Douglas Duarte follows a film crew ensconced in the Brazilian Congress during a critical moment for the country’s democracy. Lower House freeze frames, with nightmarish clarity, a real-life political story of impeachment, corruption, and lies.
