Jean Wyllys

"[1] In 2010 Wyllys was elected a federal member of the Brazilian Congress, representing the Socialism and Freedom party, with an average of 13,000 votes.

Living in a country with such a high rate of homophobic crimes as Brazil,[11] Wyllys began to receive death threats.

These became more recurrent after his political enemies began a campaign against him by posting and sharing in social media, including Facebook, images with quotes attributed to him, portraying him as being openly a paedophile.

To repair his image damaged by the orchestrated campaign, he created a section on his official webpage where he refutes all the quotes attributed to him.

The documentary focuses on the political arena in Brazil and addresses topics such as gay marriage and LGBT rights, and features Wyllys and his conservative opponents.

His close friend, Rio de Janeiro city councillor Marielle Franco, was fatally shot in March 2018.

In January 2019, just days before the February 1 swearing-in of the 56th Congress, Wyllys released a note from overseas stating that he would not return to Brazil due to alleged death threats and that he would not assume his position as congressman.

[17] Soon after news of Wyllys' resignation broke, President Bolsonaro reacted on Twitter, by posting the phrase "Great day" followed by a "thumbs-up" emoji.
