Through violent demonstrations, electoral events, bereavements and pool parties, we follow the charismatic Indianara Siqueira, a modern-day warrior, as she leads her ‘troops’ with an iron will and inexhaustible passion. A powerful, vital work co-directed by Marcelo Barbosa and Aude Chevalier-Beaumel that brings a frightening reality all too vividly to life.CANADIAN PREMIEREIn collaboration with Cinéma sous les étoiles de Funambules Médias and Massimadi."Indianara looks at a charismatic revolutionary fighting for transgender rights in Brazil."
