IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME WE FIGHT FOR OUR LOVE
Documentary. 105min. Directed by Luis Carlos de Alencar. 2022. Brazil
This documentary recounts the unprecedented stories of persecution and violence with which the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship acted against the LGBT population and how this same group constituted its resistance, transforming itself into fundamental subjects of the re-democratization process. The coup of 64 did not introduce this prejudice, but, during that period, the LGBT population was considered an enemy of the traditional family, morality and good behavior.
