I'm not brazilian, but you don't have to be one or an expert in their politics to see that this is not a documentary, but an agitprop piece. At best this could be considered simple voter emotional journey, but for this you have ignore the director history and family connections, the production company and Netflix distribution.
The movie is standard propaganda so I'll just focus on the issues I personally see with Brazilian politics, from the perspective of a guy living in a former communist and currently corrupt ridden country: * People always have the leaders they deserve, * Nationations are different and democracy is not suited for all, not even for first world nations. Just look at history of democracy around the world, * Brazilian people are too emotional and "messianic" in mentality order to have democracy. Political parties are like religions there and you can see this from how little of the discussions here are on values, principles and rights, * Idealism is self-defeating and utopia is never a vote/revolution away. Real change takes a lot of work and time, generations, * Politicians are not saviours, the best they can do is to leave you alone, * Corruption is human nature, and comes in different forms, material but also ideological, * Between military dictatorship and communism I would choose the first :)
