It's Not the First Time We Fight for Our Love

2022 · 105 min · Documentary

The documentary tells the stories of persecution and violence when the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship acted against the LGBT population and how this same group constituted its resistance, becoming a fundamental subject of the redemocratization process. The coup of 64 did not establish this prejudice, but, during this period, the LGBT population was considered the enemy of the traditional family, morals and good customs.
