Dragoons

Synopsis

The documentary delves into the images that shaped the political myth of Jair Bolsonaro, from his earliest YouTube videos to the end of his term in office. Over a series of sleepless nights, a narrator drifts through Bolsonaro’s livestreams, selfies, and speeches, searching for the logic of a form of power forged through and by images. By confronting this visual regime with Brazil’s official iconography, the film explores how power is understood, repeated, and asserted through images, at a time when politics increasingly unfolds on screens.
