Our take

The invincible nature of modern-day LGBT+ communities is at the heart of this powerful observational doc. Filmed guerrilla-style in the run-up to the election of Brazil’s current president Jair Bolsonaro, Indianara raises urgent questions about the imminent future of those living in the margins.
