Storyline
Featured review
A masterful and important documentary. Near brilliant
The sensation documentary of the year in Brazil "Bolsonaro e Adélio - Uma Fakeada no Coração do Brasil" ("Bolsonaro and Adélio - A Fake Stabbing in the
Heart of Brazil") has gone viral ever since its release. It's important, resourceful, thrilling and with many vital informations about that fateful day in
September 2018 when right-wing presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro was attacked with a knife by mysterious bricklayer Adélio Bispo during a political rally in Minas
Gerais.
Like the makers of this film and many other Brazilian I too always had my reservations and concern about what really happened on that day, the many mysterious circumstances of the event and its perpetrator, and all the buzz about that this could be a carefully planned attack and that later turned the man into a lunatic patsy for the whole media to see. This report provides clear evidence that a serious of random events weren't so random and that the Bolsonaro staff and relatives (like one of his sons) were part of the crazy attack which made him a bigger figure than he already was and prompted him to raise on the polls and eventually win the presidential election without ever attending a national debate. His followers went wild, got louder and more vocal than before, some were violent as well and that's our current situation here where loyalists to the man refuse to be part of an intelligent debate and go for everyone's throat accusing people opposed to him as being part of the left.
Director and reporter Joaquim de Carvalho makes a fantastic piece with this special report showing that many things went wrong on that day. Instead of using the federal police as security a group of unknowns integrated the security team; the president's son Carlos showed after never attending a rally before and the crucial evidence he knew Adélio, the attacker, two months prior to the attack turns this story into a more shady thing than what already is; and there's also important pieces of evidence related to the aftermath of the attack when there's the sudden transfering of the candidate to a different hospital and the stab wound that changes places on the man's body when he shows it on a TV program.
Carvalho interviews people who were close to the events, such as a waiter who served the presidents hours before the attack; the photographer who captured the stabbing; and also relies on archive footage interviews with people who disclosed moments from before and after the incident; and he talks with the security guard who found the knife, weapon of the attack, to which was given to a local merchant who declined to appear in the movie, which prompted a personal attack from his sister on the director/reporter.
The only missing piece here and quite obvious Carvalho wouldn't get access to it was an interview with the now president. Too obvious he wouldn't get a moment with him because the man simply would yell in angry ways for the interview to be over and would call securites to go after the reporter. He would reject talking about an issue that puts him into a negative light.
I was amazed with everything I've seen, and since I've found most of the acts on that day fishy and shady, it was clear that I'd be impressed with the amazing research done by the makers of the film and definitely believe that an inside job was created in order for the candidate win the election - it is told that Trump's campaign manager Steve Bannon was an indirect mastermind behind the act, telling to the president's son that they should be concerned with a possible murder attempt. Next thing you know a couple of months later the attack happens. However, lots of loose ends and mistakes happened hence the reasoning behind why this film was made - a little too late, since we're living under Bolsonaro's government and an enormous crisis this administration has put Brazil into.
Before I get a possible load of bash and criticism over here (or elsewhere) let me inform you that this isn't necessarily a project made by the left neither a harsh criticism on the current government - it's a critique on the planned attack and the people who were part of it. This film was produced by viewers who share the director's views on the case, no political party was involved; and even people who had ties with the government and were somewhat close to those events all praise the project. As for myself, I thought it was an enlightning project, one that I agreed about the views and thoughts about the incident of which I alwas found suspicious and never truly explained, and the people who declined interviews for it know more than we know about it; and it was never a case of conspiracy theories, at least not now that we have this documentary as evidence. This was mindblowing and deserves lots of views and credit, people got to see this movie in order to understand better that Adélio isn't the key figure of the whole; there's so much more to it, more people and more details. 9/10.
