A Threat to Brazil’s Democracy Beyond the Pandemic
Many blame Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro for the country’s two million coronavirus cases and nearly 77,000 dead. Despite having contracted the virus himself, Bolsonaro continues to downplay its risks, dismissing it as a “little flu.” Petra Costa is a Brazilian filmmaker whose award-winning documentary "The Edge of Democracy" warns of a threat to Brazil’s democracy even beyond the pandemic.
