La democracia en peligro
Editor
Aunque una vez Brasil fue un país lastrado por una dictadura militar, el 2002 se produjo uno de los acontecimientos más importantes de su historia social: la elección de Lula da Silva como presidente, un activista que había luchado largo y tendido para defender los derechos del pueblo carioca. Bajo su mandato, más de 20 millones de personas lograron superar el umbral de pobreza. En 2010, Lula cedió el testigo del poder a un prodigio llamado Dilma Rousseff. Por desgracia, la corrupción institucional alcanzó al pueblo llano que, influenciado por un juez partisano, acabó poniendo la lupa sobre Lula y Dilma, así como sobre cualquier persona que no estuviese dispuesto a bailar a su son. Este documental explica el proceso que llevaría a ambos políticos a juzgados por distintos crímenes judiciales.
