Battle (2019)

A crew of documentary filmmakers in Brazil attempt to conduct a street interview with journalist Marilia Melhado. It's election time, and everyone's on tenterhooks about who's going to win the second round. Will it be right-winger Jair Bolsonaro or the Labor Party's Fernando Haddad? Melhado expresses concern about the level of political polarization in the country. "Are we still listening to each other?" Melhado asks when she is rudely interrupted by Bolsonaro supporters. The prevailing idea seems to be this: agree with Bolsonaro or get out. This short is an excerpt from the feature film GREENS and YELLOWS, currently in development, directed by Caio Castor.
