Edir Macedo

Biopic autorisé de l'évêque évangélique brésilien Edir Macedo, fondateur de l'Église universelle du Royaume de Dieu et propriétaire du réseau Record TV. Basé sur une trilogie de livre du même nom, le film raconte l'histoire du self-made man qui a fait face à plusieurs moments de turbulence tout en poursuivant sa conviction.

“Breaking Myths” aims to open the world’s eyes to the fragile and “catastrophic masculinity” of Brazil’s current President Jair Bolsonaro, a fanatical far-right politician who can best be described as the Brazilian Donald Trump — and who is up for a second term this October. The story is told through the lens of the critically acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker and LGBTQ activist Fernando Grostein Andrade (“Abe” Sundance 19), who directed, wrote, and produced the feature alongside creative partner Fernando Siqueira as the first release under his production company in California, FilmSoul Studios.
