Machine of war and determination! <i>x2</i>00:00:10
Total secrecy! <i>x2</i>00:00:13
Face masked! <i>x2</i>00:00:16
In the bay of Rio de Janeiro,00:00:20
the military police are
training at the seaside,00:00:24
near Sugarloaf Mountain.00:00:28
Who's next?00:00:30
Sergeant Anderson he must turn his
soldiers into war machines.00:00:34
Perfect, keep it going.00:00:36
In a few hours, they will attack the
favelas, the red-light districts,00:00:41
to neutralize drug traffickers
and gangs, that ravage the country.00:00:47
Le Choque is an elite
military police force.00:00:50
They went through a strict selection,00:00:53
during which they were trained.00:00:55
Each year, more than 60,000
people are shot dead in Brazil.00:01:00
Residents want greater security.00:01:03
For them, the solution was to elect
a populist president, Jair Bolsonaro.00:01:10
Even though Rio's other
beaches are more relaxed,00:01:14
this group of friend voted
for the man with the iron hand.00:01:18
Who voted for Bolsonaro?00:01:20
- Me.- Me too.00:01:23
Bolsonaro is in our blood.00:01:28
What do you expect from him?00:01:30
It has to change.00:01:33
In the current situation in Brazil,00:01:35
we need a radical man.00:01:38
People don't play by
the rules anymore.00:01:41
It became one big mess.00:01:43
Bolsonaro wants a return to moral
order with the churche's support.00:01:47
He also wants to clean up crime.00:01:50
He is a liberal.00:01:52
Many compare him to Donald Trump.00:01:54
Like him, he divides.00:01:56
Him there, he hates the president.00:01:59
Yes, he really doesn't
like the president.00:02:04
Their friend with the blue bandana
on the footvolley field,00:02:08
is a university professor00:02:10
and he is a left-wing.00:02:13
Do you want to talk about politics?00:02:17
You are a teacher, you express yours-
elf well, whereas I'll be ridiculous.00:02:22
What is its main current proposal?00:02:26
I don't know what to say.00:02:29
What has the left done for the
country, except plunder it?00:02:33
He voted for Bolsonaro,
did you see how upset he is!00:02:37
This angry man is,
like a lot of Brazilians,00:02:40
revolted against a left-wing
linked to corruption cases.00:02:44
Bolsonaro took advantage of these
scandals to get voters,00:02:48
but what made him a winner,00:02:50
are powerful lobbies
running the country.00:02:57
Brazil, world's eighth-largest power,00:02:59
is going through a severe
economic and security crisis.00:03:03
These poor districts, the favelas,00:03:05
are in the hands of drug traffickers.00:03:08
It's cocaine.00:03:10
Gangs that fear the new leader.00:03:13
I'm a bit scared of the president,00:03:16
because he said that those who are
armed, like me, will die.00:03:22
In October 2018, Brazilians elected
a man with a firm grip,00:03:25
a far-right president who wants
to restore order and morality.00:03:31
The President of the
Republic, Jair Bolsonaro!00:03:36
This is our great flag.00:03:38
It will never be red again.00:03:40
The Reds are the leftists,
the new president hates them.00:03:44
With his bodyguards and
his American style,00:03:47
he presents himself
as the Trump of the tropics.00:03:50
Like him, we love or we hate him.00:03:53
To conquer power, the president was
supported by evangelical churches.00:03:58
They put on their powerful lobby,
nicknamed the Bible,00:04:02
in the service of a hard line.00:04:06
With Bolsonaro, we share the family,
the ban on abortion,00:04:10
we are in sync.00:04:13
The Bible is not the only ultra-con-
servative force supporting Bolsonaro.00:04:19
There is also the Oxen lobby,
the power of agribusiness.00:04:25
Claudiomar Vicente is one of the
richest farmers in the country.00:04:28
He travels by private helicopter
to watch his 70,000 oxen.00:04:33
He has 90,000 hectares
bordering the Amazon.00:04:37
Fifty years ago,
it was just forest here.00:04:41
Bolsonaro wants to exploit
the tropical forest more,00:04:44
even if it'll mean
massive deforestation,00:04:47
with its share of fires,
often criminals.00:04:50
To satisfy the Oxen lobby, he
authorized hundreds of pesticides.00:04:56
Bolsonaro, the former soldier,
has not forgotten his third ally,00:05:01
The Weapon Lobby.00:05:03
In a Brazil wracked by violence, his
answer: allow the carrying of arms.00:05:09
Who voted Bolsonaro?00:05:11
It's better to ask who
didn't vote for him.00:05:16
Hard-liner,00:05:18
Bolsonaro gave the police the
equivalent of a license to kill.00:05:21
He asked them to remove drug
traffickers from the favelas.00:05:28
The Bible,00:05:29
The Oxen,00:05:31
The Weapon,00:05:33
Together, they form the famous BOW.00:05:37
Inquiry on the new masters of Brazil.00:05:44
In the heart of Rio de Janeiro,
the headquarters of Le Choque,00:05:48
a military police battalion with
900 hand-picked soldiers.00:05:54
Their specialty:00:05:55
Strong interventions in the favelas00:05:58
to neutralize networks
of traffickers.00:06:01
Bataillon du Choque, rest!00:06:05
As every morning, Major
Batista examined his troops.00:06:10
Here are the troops entering
and leaving the service.00:06:13
The men are in line.00:06:15
OK, fine.00:06:17
The Choque battalion
was created in 1934.00:06:22
Its barracks, called the Castle,
are over a century old.00:06:26
Traditions unite this elite corps.00:06:29
Lord of the military,00:06:31
our mission and our duty
emanates from you.00:06:33
God, we will die in the name
of loyalty to our doctrine.00:06:36
So, the morals, the dignity and
the strength of the Man of Choque00:06:40
will resonate for eternity.00:06:41
In this life and in the next,
for peace and order.00:06:44
Choque!00:06:48
What do you have on your jackets?00:06:51
They are patents.00:06:54
I was trained in special
operations at the BOPE unit.00:06:58
This is the symbol of the
Choque battalion.00:07:02
This badge means that you are ready
for battle, for clash, for shock.00:07:07
That's it, Le Choque,00:07:08
the confrontation and the armed
control of sensitive districts.00:07:13
An operation in a favela is scheduled
for this morning.00:07:18
The team that will be on the front
line prepares its equipment.00:07:24
Commander Batista
wanted to motivate his men.00:07:29
In our unity, there are
no second chances.00:07:32
It is not a conventional unit,00:07:35
it's a privilege to be part of it.00:07:37
When you get out here,00:07:38
you should not doubt the
mission's objective00:07:42
or how to use your equipment.00:07:47
To not doubt is to draw your
gun without hesitation00:07:50
and kill if necessary.00:07:54
That's how it is, we have no choice.00:07:56
In a country where 62,000 people a
year are murdered, impunity reigns.00:08:02
We must show that there is no
way out for criminals.00:08:06
The only solution is to
surrender or to die.00:08:10
It has to be like that or
we're going to lose this war.00:08:14
Winning this war against gangs is
exactly what Bolsonaro promised.00:08:19
Commander Batista and his
men therefore voted for him.00:08:24
With their military arsenal, they
are more motivated than ever.00:08:30
We have this AR-10 rifle,
caliber 7.62.00:08:33
A 40 caliber pistol is also used.00:08:37
We have knee pads,
a bulletproof vest.00:08:41
The protection is made of kevlar
ceramic against gunfire,00:08:45
because the opponent in front
usually has an equivalent gun,00:08:49
or even better than ours.00:08:52
Ready? Let's go, guys.00:08:56
We will not be allowed to
follow the operation00:08:59
because in 2013, a journalist was
killed during a raid of Le Choque.00:09:07
Since that day,00:09:08
the militaries are no longer
bringing media representatives.00:09:15
Commander Batista still wants
to show us the violence00:09:18
that these soldiers are facing.00:09:24
Here, it's our armored vehicle,
near the objective.00:09:28
What happened?00:09:30
When we arrived, we
encountered a lot of resistance00:09:34
from a criminal defending
this perimeter.00:09:40
In this operation, a few days ago,00:09:42
his men came under fire from
a very large caliber machine gun.00:09:48
During this operation,00:09:50
my men have seized an
impressive quantity of weapons.00:09:55
I'm summoned to present it to the
press at the governor's palace.00:10:03
Results on trafficker
side: one dead.00:10:08
At the governor's palace,00:10:09
the communication operation
is being prepared.00:10:17
On the table, the arsenal seized
during Le Choque's assault.00:10:21
Automatic weapons,00:10:22
Ammo bales, grenades.00:10:25
The highlight of the show,
the heavy machine gun00:10:28
which fired the Choque
armoured vehicle.00:10:32
It's vital to get these weapons
out of the criminal's hands,00:10:36
especially when you seize so many.00:10:38
People would have died because
of these guns, honest citizens.00:10:47
Wilson Witzel, age 51,00:10:49
is the new governor of the
state of Rio de Janeiro.00:10:53
Gentlemen officers,00:10:55
Mr. Commander of Choque,00:10:58
Colonel Batista.00:11:00
On your behalf, I want to
congratulate our brave heroes.00:11:07
This former Navy soldier is
close to the Weapon lobby.00:11:11
He was elected thanks to
Jair Bolsonaro.00:11:15
He also wants to give free rein to
the police to eliminate traffickers.00:11:23
All that ammunition that was fired,00:11:26
were against our police officers.00:11:30
I asked for this arsenal
to be gathered00:11:33
so that you, the press,00:11:36
say that a gun like that
has only one purpose,00:11:42
shoot a policeman in the head.00:11:47
Whoever has this gun in his hands,00:11:50
he deserves no
other fate than to be shot.00:11:56
He wants to give the police a license
to kill without self-defense.00:12:03
Since coming to power in
January 2019,00:12:06
the number of civilians killed by
police soars in Rio state00:12:11
According to the Public
Safety Institute,00:12:14
over the first seven months of 2019,00:12:17
1,075 people were killed
by security forces.00:12:20
More than five deaths
per day, a record.00:12:27
Right in the center of Rio,
we meet Pedro Prado.00:12:33
This young journalist denounces
the excesses of the police.00:12:38
Rio de Janeiro is experiencing
an undeclared war.00:12:42
This logic of war is conducive
to the irreparable,00:12:47
to blunders and all
sorts of injustice.00:12:51
It's an absurd war.00:12:55
Pedro shot these images
a few weeks ago.00:12:59
<i>"Come over there, look!"</i>00:13:01
<i>"They shot at us with tear gas,</i>00:13:05
<i>they aimed at me in the face</i>
<i>and beat me with sticks."</i>00:13:08
<i>"Come on, film, it's over there!"</i>00:13:12
<i>"After the turn."</i>00:13:15
In the Fallet favela,00:13:17
thirteen suspected traffickers
were recently killed by the police.00:13:23
They killed two of his sons
today in this house.00:13:27
The suspects had taken
refuge in this house.00:13:31
No shots were exchanged,
it was an execution.00:13:35
We want justice.00:13:38
Inside, Pedro discovers a bloodbath.00:13:43
The police fired a total of 94
bullets in the house.00:13:56
Pedro is having trouble
forgetting these images,00:13:59
but he must return to Fallet because
the Public Prosecutor's Office,00:14:03
under the weight of scandal, was
forced to open an investigation.00:14:11
The police and the public prosecu-
tor's office secure the perimeter.00:14:18
They want to do a reconstruction
of what happened in February.00:14:26
The men responsible for
the killing are here.00:14:30
Surprise, they are Le
Choque's soldiers.00:14:33
They are all hooded so
as not to be identified00:14:36
and suffer possible reprisals.00:14:39
The police of polices questions
them about their version.00:14:43
For Pedro, things are simple.00:14:47
In any case, even if these young
people were involved in trafficking,00:14:52
we don't have the
death penalty in Brazil.00:14:55
The police's role
is not to execute00:14:59
but to apprehend.00:15:03
We won't be able to ask questions to
the protagonists of the massacre.00:15:08
The press is carefully kept away.00:15:15
With the statements of the new
governor and the president,00:15:20
police officers feel protected.00:15:24
They finally have a government00:15:27
who will support the
war they want to wage.00:15:34
Jair Bolsonaro promised his voters00:15:36
a total war against
Rio's red-light districts.00:15:41
Nine hundred of these favelas
are scattered throughout the city.00:15:47
Here, we call them
the morros, the hills,00:15:51
because they are most
often located on the heights.00:15:54
One of the most dangerous
is the City of God.00:16:01
It is headed by Comando Vermelho,
a gang of very violent traffickers.00:16:08
This mafia does not hesitate
to recruit young people.00:16:12
We meet three of these
little traffic soldiers.00:16:16
The oldest is barely 20 years old.00:16:25
That's already packed cocaine.00:16:28
It's our job, we make doses00:16:31
and we pack weed, too.00:16:34
For these young criminals,00:16:36
drug dealing would be the
only way out in this life.00:16:41
They see themselves as
victims of a violent society00:16:44
that doesn't want them.00:16:49
That's from a bullet.00:16:50
Who shot you?00:16:52
It's a police shot.00:16:55
I went to the hospital and
then to prison.00:16:59
At the exit, I am a trafficker again00:17:02
because here, we don't
have opportunities.00:17:07
We have families, rent to pay.00:17:10
I have my mother and
brother to care for.00:17:13
How else do you want me to do it?00:17:15
I can't find a job, I don't
want to be a burden,00:17:18
I have to help my family.00:17:21
These dealers are members of a gang,
they blindly obey their boss.00:17:27
They never leave their districts
because they are wanted.00:17:31
but the danger also
comes from within.00:17:36
What I'm most afraid of in life00:17:38
It's the betrayal of my own friends.00:17:41
You see, I have a gun.00:17:44
To take it, they can attack me.00:17:46
We are not united.00:17:48
They may want to
overtake me and take my place.00:17:51
We are used to police shootings.00:17:53
They attack us, we respond
and life goes on.00:17:57
Our friends die.00:17:58
Three days ago, my
friend died at my feet.00:18:01
It is the law of survival, a lack of
vigilance and we're being stepped on.00:18:07
These dealers die young.00:18:08
They know that Bolsonaro
has sworn to have their skin.00:18:13
I'm a bit scared of the president,00:18:17
because he said that
those who are armed will die.00:18:21
If we are seen with a gun,
they can kill us.00:18:25
However, in the City of God,
there are not only traffickers.00:18:34
Tony has lived there for 40 years.00:18:36
He is a photographer and, in
his small makeshift studio,00:18:41
he likes to highlight the
beauty of black women.00:18:46
Hi, are you doing well?00:18:48
Let's go?00:18:49
Put your phone down.00:18:53
I was one of the first to shoot
pretty girls from the favela,00:18:57
because every time I went to a press,00:19:01
there were no black models
in the magazines.00:19:05
It shocked me a lot.00:19:09
Today, the model Tony has chosen to
photograph is called Fabiana.00:19:13
He spotted her on the street.00:19:16
She was born and has always
lived in the City of God.00:19:19
Fabiana is 17 years old.00:19:22
He is my lover.00:19:23
Violence is already part
of her daily life.00:19:26
He was killed.00:19:28
How did he die?00:19:33
He was shot to death.00:19:39
They said he was doing stupid things.00:19:42
In fact, he was dealing in places00:19:46
that belonged to the local boss,00:19:50
in his apartments,00:19:52
So the boss shot him down.00:19:58
In front of Tony's lens, she will
be able to forget the favela a bit.00:20:06
Go on, turn around a bit.00:20:08
Extra.00:20:09
Then, for an afternoon,
be like a model.00:20:14
It's great!00:20:17
Fabiana lives a few
blocks from Tony's studio.00:20:21
In this 40-square-meter
house, there are six.00:20:27
She lives with her parents,00:20:28
but also, his pregnant
sister-in-law and his brother.00:20:33
The couple already has a girl.00:20:38
It's the room where I, my
mom and dad sleep.00:20:43
- Are the three of you sleeping here?
- Yes.00:20:46
How do you do in this bed?00:20:50
It's tight, we turn from one
side to the other,00:20:53
but we can sleep anyway.00:20:56
Do you want to leave the City of God?00:21:00
There is too much shooting here.00:21:02
You can't go to school or study,
you can't do anything here.00:21:07
It's raining bullets all
the way into the house.00:21:10
Fabiana!00:21:12
Yes, I'm coming.00:21:14
This fashion shooting experience,00:21:16
Fabiana sees it as an opportunity
to escape the favela.00:21:20
Can I come in?00:21:21
Yes, go ahead.00:21:25
Tony will do all he can to help her.00:21:28
Esteves, Fabiana's father, also
dreams of a better future for her.00:21:36
I want her to have a better life
and to be able to get out of here.00:21:42
Esteves voted for Jair Bolsonaro.00:21:45
He's a soldier!00:21:47
For security, we need
someone more rigid,00:21:51
do you understand?00:21:54
Like Fabiana's father,00:21:56
60% of the inhabitants of
the City of God voted Bolsonaro.00:22:02
They say no to violence,00:22:04
and are in the grip of the evange-
licals who support the president.00:22:08
Their churches are on every corner.00:22:11
In these districts abandoned by the
state, they take care of children.00:22:22
The Bible is the second
lobby, after Weapon,00:22:26
allowing the election
of Jair Bolsonaro.00:22:30
The world's largest Catholic country
is having a rise of evangelicals,00:22:34
that now represent one
inhabitant out of four.00:22:38
Three times more than in the 90s.00:22:45
It's in a suburb of Rio de Janeiro
that is the Evangelical Church00:22:49
of the Assembly of God
the Victory in Christ,00:22:53
one of the most powerful in Brazil.00:23:04
The 6,500-seat room is
packed to capacity.00:23:08
The one everyone is waiting
for arrives in the parking lot.00:23:13
Black saloon and bodyguards,
this is the star pastor,00:23:17
Silas Malafaia.00:23:24
An entry worthy of a pop star
for this pillar of the Bible lobby.00:23:29
Good morning00:23:31
What a beauty.00:23:33
With its hundred churches,00:23:35
Silas Malafaia has 12
million followers.00:23:38
They followed their guide and voted
massively for Jair Bolsonaro.00:23:43
- A little selfie?
- Yes, go ahead.00:23:46
- Did you all vote for Bolsonaro?
- Yes.00:23:50
The pastor's ideas are the
same as Bolsonaro.00:23:53
The family first, That's our pillar,
that's why we voted for him.00:23:58
Silas Malafaia is considered
as Bolsonaro's spiritual guide.00:24:02
He invited his followers to
vote for him.00:24:05
So on victory night, the president
came to this church.00:24:10
Here is the president of Brazil!00:24:12
To thank the pastor
and his followers.00:24:24
I want to thank you,
the people of God,00:24:27
for the trust you have placed in me.00:24:33
In Jesus' name,
in this church, I declare:00:24:36
Our Lord Jesus reigns over Brazil.00:24:41
Once again!00:24:42
Our Lord Jesus and Brazil.00:24:48
Pastor Malafaia fully shares the
political ideas of Bolsonaro.00:24:59
What do I have in
common with Bolsonaro?00:25:01
Family values, the issue of abortion00:25:04
we are on the same line,00:25:07
the issue of violence.00:25:10
What he defends are
exactly the ideas of evangelicals.00:25:16
At 60, Silas Malafaia is
the head of an empire.00:25:20
This ultra-liberal manages
his churches like businesses00:25:24
whose followers provide
most of the wealth.00:25:30
Giving is an act of honor
and recognition00:25:34
of God's sovereignty over our lives.00:25:37
I'm asking you to hand
out the envelopes.00:25:40
You can also pay by credit card.00:25:43
God bless you greatly and mightily.00:25:49
You can write whatever
prayer you want.00:25:52
We write our name and the
pastor prays for us.00:25:56
There, we put the amount we give.00:25:58
It's not a payment, it's a thank you.00:26:03
Followers are happy to
donate 10% of their income00:26:06
to be a member of the
Malafaia Church.00:26:11
We thank Jesus for
all those gifts, amen.00:26:14
You can collect.00:26:22
The pastor is a multimillionaire00:26:24
and lives in one of the most popular
places in Rio, in the south,00:26:28
along the coast.00:26:33
At the entrance, guards
screen every visititor.00:26:40
Silas Malafaia lives in this
chic and secure residence.00:26:46
Hi, how are you?00:26:48
Good morning00:26:50
The ultra-conservative
pastor fear to be attacked,00:26:53
as was his friend Bolsonaro
a few months ago.00:26:57
During the presidential campaign.00:26:59
The future president is
carried by the crowd00:27:02
when he is stabbed by a mad person.00:27:05
Two days after the attack,00:27:07
Silas Malafaia is one of the
very first to go to his bedside.00:27:12
He was in critical condition,
in intensive care.00:27:16
Not everyone could visit him.00:27:20
The only ones who could get in
were his wife, his sons, and me.00:27:25
It was a matter of minutes.00:27:28
If I hadn't been rescued,
I would have died.00:27:33
Millions of Christians are
praying for you, Bolsonaro.00:27:39
440,000 views on YouTube alone.00:27:43
Not to mention social networks.00:27:47
It was broadcast everywhere.00:27:51
After the success of his first video,
the pastor shot a second one.00:27:56
showing Jair Bolsonaro recovering.00:28:01
It was important during
the electoral process.00:28:04
It was the elections.00:28:06
I wanted to show that
he was recovering.00:28:08
Rumors said that he was
going to die, that he was ill.00:28:13
During the election period,
information is valuable.00:28:19
If you think it's not true, look.00:28:21
Pull up your shirt please,
is that nothing?00:28:24
Is that false?00:28:26
35 stitches!00:28:32
I think I contributed
to his election.00:28:37
Silas Malafaia naturally
gave to Bolsonaro,00:28:41
his media force, because
he defends the same ideas.00:28:45
Among them, the
total ban on abortion.00:28:48
In Brazil, it's allowed in rare
cases, such as rape,00:28:53
but for the pastor, no exception.00:28:55
Even if it causes a lot
of illegal abortions.00:28:59
In Brazil, there are 500,000
illegal abortions every year.00:29:04
Who told you that
this figure is accurate?00:29:07
It's pro-abortion propaganda.00:29:09
There are no official statistics,
these are pro-abortion arguments.00:29:14
Whatever.00:29:16
Whatever.00:29:17
Abortion is a crime against life.00:29:20
Whether there are 10 or
1 million, it's the same.00:29:23
The big number of illegal abortions
doesn't justify anything.00:29:26
A crime is a crime.00:29:29
Like President Bolsonaro,
Silas Malafaia is convinced00:29:33
that homosexuality endangers
the traditional family.00:29:39
On this subject, he
makes shocking comments.00:29:44
Humans were not designed
to smoke, but they smoke.00:29:48
Nor to take cocaine,
but he does, it's a choice.00:29:54
He was also not designed to
be gay, but he may be.00:29:58
It's a behavior, it's not natural.00:30:02
When does science say it's genetic?00:30:06
I have a department in my church
that specializes in helping people,00:30:11
and there are many who come
to change their sexual behavior.00:30:16
One of my followers was
transsexual, not gay,00:30:20
with silicone breasts,
dressed like a woman.00:30:23
Today he is a man,
and he is married00:30:26
because it was a behavior.00:30:28
He was not born that way.00:30:31
The pastor, a man of communication,00:30:33
insists on showing us that
he lives a simple life,00:30:36
in a large house with,
of course, domestic staff.00:30:40
These are vegetables
that I cook separately.00:30:43
Careful, sir, don't burn yourself.00:30:46
Vegetables, chicken.00:30:48
This is beans.00:30:49
Beans are Brazilian cuisine.00:30:53
I eat simply.00:30:55
Yes, very simple.00:30:56
I am not sophisticated,
I like simple cooking.00:31:01
Yes, it's very easy.00:31:04
Silas Malafaia denies enriching
himself on his followers' backs.00:31:12
They say that since I became a
pastor, I'm rich, I bought a house,00:31:17
these are lies.00:31:19
I bring journalists to my house
and they end up saying:00:31:24
we thought it would
be more sumptuous.00:31:27
No, it's an upper-middle class house.00:31:31
Not a rich one, it's an
upper-middle class home.00:31:35
The pastor wants to be
clear about his heritage.00:31:39
He even gave us the price
of his house: €1,300,000.00:31:44
He owes his fortune to his business.00:31:49
In the northern suburbs of Rio,00:31:51
here is the 2nd evangelical
publishing house in the country.00:31:56
In these boxes, thousands of Bibles
and spiritual books.00:32:01
A call center receives all orders.00:32:04
The promotion is today
only, take advantage of it.00:32:08
The pastor ensures teleshopping00:32:10
in a program recorded
in his own studios.00:32:15
Call our telephone advisers
at 2187 7000.00:32:20
By buying all three,
you will get 30% off.00:32:25
If you want, you can pay in two
installments, it will be €15.00:32:29
We'll see you again
for the next show.00:32:34
OK, that's good, Pastor.00:32:36
I have been on Brazilian television
for 37 years straight.00:32:41
I am the longest-serving
pastor on national television.00:32:45
How many viewers do you have?00:32:47
Millions.00:32:52
For years, evangelical churches
have been trying00:32:55
to have a political power.00:32:57
They have finally won.00:33:00
There is Bolsonaro, of course,
but especially the deputies.00:33:06
Those who run politics, are the
National Congress and there,00:33:10
we have power, a lot of members
of parliament are our allies.00:33:13
The president is not that important.00:33:16
The influence is in Parliament.00:33:18
Bolsonaro knows it well.00:33:25
In Brasília, the capital, Parliament
is the center of power,00:33:29
with its evangelical deputies.00:33:35
One of the most influential is
called Sóstenes Cavalcante.00:33:38
He is the eyes and ears of Silas
Malafaia in the Assembly.00:33:43
Every Wednesday, Deputy Cavalcante00:33:46
Join members of the Bible lobby
to pray in a Parliament auditorium00:33:51
transformed into a chapel.00:34:07
In this makeshift chapel, the
pastor deputy feels at home.00:34:13
Lord, we thank you.00:34:16
Make us fertile trees to spread
the name of the gospel.00:34:23
Religion influences politics.00:34:26
It influences the direction
Bolsonaro is also taking.00:34:31
To influence Bolsonaro's
politic is to legislate00:34:35
ideas that are important to them,
like caring for homosexuals.00:34:40
On stage, this deputy, pastor,
says he is ex-gay.00:34:44
For him, homosexuals
only want to repent.00:34:49
Those who are or have been gay, say
they don't want to be gay anymore.00:34:54
All over the world, I'm telling you.00:34:58
A parliamentary assistant distributes
a brochure to the deputies,00:35:02
for them to support treatments
to reverse homosexuals.00:35:07
On Earth, God allows us everything00:35:10
but at the last judgment,
it's written in the Bible,00:35:13
Homosexuals will not enter
the kingdom of God.00:35:17
In this arena, ultra-conservative
left-wing holds the power.00:35:23
Are you alright, brother?00:35:24
I missed you00:35:25
I only see you now,
you're ignoring me.00:35:28
No, nonsense.00:35:30
For Bolsonaro and his friends,00:35:32
The left-wing is a bunch of Marxists
who need to get rid of.00:35:36
His government cut
university budgets off,00:35:39
which he describes
as leftist landmarks.00:35:42
Look what I just got from
Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.00:35:47
He's the son of the president,
and also a senator.00:35:51
It's not a porn movie,
it's a Brazilian university00:35:55
where social and human
sciences are studied.00:35:59
This is how taxpayers' money is used00:36:02
in higher education.00:36:05
The message from the president's
son is accompanied by a video00:36:09
where students seem to be protesting
naked on their faculty grounds.00:36:16
Students protest against budget cuts00:36:20
of the current federal government.00:36:24
They are communists.00:36:26
They come with their
ideology and philosophy00:36:29
and that's how they protest.00:36:31
That is what we are fighting against.00:36:34
The problem is that this video was
shot two years ago.00:36:38
It is a student demonstration but
against the previous government.00:36:43
So nothing to do with the news.00:36:46
Other images of the same type
appeared at the same time00:36:50
on Twitter accounts of
pro-Bolsonaro activists.00:36:53
They have also all been diverted
or taken out of context.00:36:57
To justify these budget cuts and
discredit the opposition,00:37:01
The government does not
hesitate to use fake news.00:37:05
Faced with these attacks,
the left is trying to resist.00:37:08
On the front line the socialist
deputy Marcello Freixo.00:37:13
Even within the Assembly,00:37:15
he is always escorted by bodyguards.00:37:18
He's threatened with death00:37:20
because he chaired a parliamentary
inquiry into the militias.00:37:23
These groups claim to protect
the population from drug trafficking00:37:28
but in reality, they racket
the inhabitants of the favelas.00:37:32
For Marcelo Freixo, it is
mafias that must be fought.00:37:35
For Bolsonaro, they are heroes.00:37:38
It is not a secret,00:37:40
Bolsonaro defended the
legalization of Rio's militias.00:37:43
Bolsonaro defends these mafia
groups that want to kill me.00:37:48
Marcelo Freixo is not
afraid of his life.00:37:51
He is worried about the
future of his country.00:37:55
Bolsonaro has the
characteristics of a fascite.00:37:58
He was never committed to democracy.00:38:00
He promote the possession of weapons,00:38:02
he would like people to be more armed00:38:06
and he has ideas
similar to Trump's.00:38:10
Liberalize the use and trade of arms00:38:12
to counter insecurity
as in the United States,00:38:15
It is the dream of the Weapon lobby.00:38:18
How is it going?00:38:20
You're giving orders here.00:38:22
No, you're actually the boss.00:38:25
At the Parliament restaurant, Caval-
cante is with his political friends.00:38:31
This is Captain Augusto.00:38:33
He is president
of the Public Safety Lobby00:38:36
here, in the Chamber of Deputies.00:38:39
The possession and use of weapons are
being made more flexible.00:38:44
We are in favor of this,
for the good citizen.00:38:48
Deputy Augusto is a
retired army captain.00:38:52
He maintained a certain
military coquetry.00:38:56
It's a weapon called the
AR-15, it's an assault rifle.00:39:01
That is not all.00:39:02
I also have this pen made
with a bullet.00:39:06
These deputies have a
majority in the Assembly.00:39:09
Their alliance gives them power.00:39:12
Sometimes, evangelical
and Christian groups00:39:14
are asking for support to
vote for their projects.00:39:17
It's the same with agriculture,
we are all united.00:39:21
That's why we were nicknamed the
BOW, Bible, Oxen, Weapon.00:39:27
The Oxen is the
lobby of agribusiness.00:39:31
A heavy force because
Brazil is a rich land.00:39:35
With its endless fields,00:39:37
this intensive agriculture represents
a quarter of the country's GDP.00:39:42
It has made the fortune
of landowners.00:39:45
1% of them own more
than half of the arable land.00:39:50
They logically voted for Bolsonaro.00:39:53
Like Claudiomar Vicente.00:39:57
With his wife, son and two dogs,00:40:00
Belle and Lolita00:40:02
he is going to spend the weekend
in one of his farms, a fazenda.00:40:07
We are in the north of Brazil, on the
borders of the Amazon.00:40:11
To avoid the road,00:40:13
the family always makes this trip
in their private helicopter.00:40:17
Quickly, the city gives
way to huge meadows00:40:20
cut out in the tropical forest.00:40:24
Here, 50 years ago,
it was just forest.00:40:27
The federal and national governments
encouraged deforestation.00:40:31
It was liberalized.00:40:33
People came here looking for gold,
then it was the exploitation of wood00:40:38
and today, it's agriculture,
mainly with cattle farms.00:40:43
In 50 years, 17% of the Amazon rain-
forest has already been destroyed.00:40:49
In Brazil, which has 60% of its sur-
face, a record was reached in 2004,00:40:54
with 28,000 square kilometers
deforested, the size of Belgium.00:40:59
Since then, Brazil had succeeded
in reducing the deforestation.00:41:04
With Bolsonaro, the second
largest forest in the world00:41:07
is threatened again.00:41:08
For Bolsonaro, it is an unproductive
and desert territory,00:41:12
that he intends to exploit.00:41:14
Agriculture has been done
in this region for 10 years.00:41:18
Soya beans and corn
are already grown.00:41:20
It will develop with other cultures00:41:23
like cotton and sugar cane.00:41:25
It is a very prosperous
and fertile region.00:41:30
Food barons like Claudiomar00:41:33
will be able to expand
their already huge farms.00:41:38
From here, we're on
one of my six fazendas.00:41:42
It is 15,000 hectares.00:41:47
It is very productive land.00:41:50
In total, I have six fazendas
with cattle.00:41:55
I own 90,000 hectares in total.00:42:01
Claudiomar operates a territory
nine times the size of Paris,00:42:05
a property value of €140 million.00:42:09
Those little white
spots are his oxen.00:42:12
He is raising 70,000 of them.00:42:18
There, near the lake, is my farm.00:42:23
La fazenda de Claudiomar is more
like a luxury villa than a farm.00:42:28
He had it built with modern materials00:42:30
and modern equipment.00:42:33
A few minutes after landing, the
son Gabriel is watching TV.00:42:39
Réjane is in the kitchen.
Well, with the cooks.00:42:43
She oversees the evening meal.00:42:47
She is a very good cook.00:42:49
She can do everything,
salty or sweet.00:42:54
Come on, don't be shy,
answer the camera.00:42:59
I manage, I do a bit of everything.00:43:02
I have four people at my service.00:43:06
When we invite friends over,
I recruit more people00:43:10
but they're four all the time.00:43:17
For his part, the boss
controls his livestock,00:43:20
thanks to which it generates a
turnover of 16 million € each year.00:43:25
A quarter of all meat goes
abroad: in the Maghreb,00:43:28
in the Middle East, but for
now not in Europe.00:43:34
They are beautiful,
they are very big.00:43:37
In 3 months, they'll go
to the slaughterhouse.00:43:40
Yes, 90 days and we kill them.00:43:43
Claudiomar is proud of its breeding.00:43:47
Here, we have the Black Angus.00:43:49
He believes that his
farm is under threat.00:43:52
That is also why he voted Bolsonaro.00:43:59
He promised safety to fazendeiros
who have private property.00:44:05
That nothing will happen.00:44:10
In Brazil, farmers have a fear,
the Landless Movement.00:44:15
These poor peasants,
without land title,00:44:18
are fighting for a redistribution
of agricultural land.00:44:25
They regularly occupy unexploited
plots of large fazendeiros.00:44:30
Jair Bolsonaro calls them terrorists.00:44:36
Private property is sacred, period.00:44:43
The objective of my bill is
that farmers can00:44:47
have a gun inside the
perimeter of their property.00:44:53
They can then defend themselves
without being punished.00:44:59
With this new law,00:45:01
Claudiomar will be able to defend his
beautiful property as he wants.00:45:08
A fazendeiro who defends his land00:45:10
And who kills someone,
will not be punished00:45:13
because it's considered an invasion.00:45:16
Do you have guns?00:45:18
Not at the moment, but Bolsonaro
will allow farmers to own them.00:45:23
Will you buy one?00:45:24
Yes, of course.00:45:28
This dream life, Réjane,
Claudiomar's wife00:45:31
loves to stage it.00:45:33
She spends her time taking photos of
herself to feed her social network.00:45:39
I can't take my photo, you're on it.00:45:43
God, sorry, madam.00:45:45
Thanks.00:45:46
Of course, madam princess.00:45:49
Let's go, is there no one behind?00:45:51
Check carefully.00:45:53
Hold the buoy steady.00:45:57
Is that it?00:46:04
For his part, Claudiomar
enjoys his private lake.00:46:10
It's the meat of my oxen.00:46:13
It's striploin.00:46:22
Here it was just a small stream.00:46:24
I created this lake
and put fish in it.00:46:27
When you want to fish, you
throw a hook and catch it.00:46:32
Indeed, a few minutes
later, it's taking the bait00:46:37
We're going to eat this one tonight.00:46:43
Claudiomar will not cook it.00:46:45
Silas, his handyman,
starts the barbecue,00:46:49
the churrasco.00:46:50
On the menu: fish from the lake,00:46:52
but above all, prime
rib from the farm.00:46:55
I'm going to have prime rib.00:46:57
Would you like to cut me a piece?00:47:00
Home-made prime rib, a delight.00:47:02
In the middle,
it's closer to the bone.00:47:09
It melts in your mouth,
what a flavor!00:47:13
It's really good.00:47:20
The next morning, Claudiomar
take his private plane.00:47:26
I bought this plane second-hand.00:47:28
It cost me $2 million.00:47:30
Claudiomar's jet can
carry up to eight people,00:47:34
with the pilot,
working full time for him.00:47:38
I'm going to the Agrishow
in Ribeirão Preto.00:47:42
I'm going to see the latest
models of farm machinery,00:47:46
tractors, combine harvesters,00:47:48
all the newest ones
will be presented.00:47:52
The Agrishow is
1,800 kilometers away00:47:54
in Ribeirão Preto
in the north of São Paulo.00:47:57
The country's biggest agricultural
fair takes place every year.00:48:01
Always producing more
is the objective stated here.00:48:06
Exceedness is everywhere.00:48:07
Oversized machines,00:48:10
800 exhibitors on 50 hectares,00:48:13
150,000 visitors.00:48:15
The Agrishow is a real cash machine.00:48:18
Once again this year, agribusinessmen
are going to spend lavishly.00:48:23
The transactions will be
close to €70 million.00:48:28
Each brand has its hostesses.00:48:30
It's like being at the auto show.00:48:37
Hi, how are you?00:48:39
Do you sell pumps here?00:48:42
Yes, do you want advice?00:48:45
No, I'm just taking a look.00:48:47
To you too, you are very pretty.00:48:49
Thank you00:48:51
Claudiomar is not here for
a little romance,00:48:54
He has seeds to buy.00:48:58
Are you alright?00:48:59
This man is a specialist in
plants that feed cattle.00:49:03
Claudiomar is a loyal customer.00:49:06
I will calculate my
needs for the year00:49:09
and, depending on the price,
I will take you back.00:49:13
These seeds undergo
several treatments.00:49:16
They are all treated with fungicide.00:49:20
and depending on the region
where they'll be planted,00:49:23
they also have an
insecticide treatment,00:49:26
Standak, which is fipronil
against insects.00:49:32
Fipronil is authorized in
Brazil, but banned in France,00:49:35
as in most European countries.00:49:38
It was deemed dangerous
because it kills bees.00:49:43
With Bolsonaro in power,00:49:45
the use of agrotoxics is exploding.00:49:49
During his first six months,00:49:50
his Government approved
the market launch of 262 pesticides,00:49:55
more than one per day, on average.00:50:01
Yeah, OK, that's good.00:50:02
Claudiomar needs machines
to plant his seeds00:50:06
and feed its 70,000 oxen.00:50:10
This huge combine
harvester caught his eye.00:50:16
It's really good.00:50:23
It is worth €275,000.00:50:28
Are you buying it?00:50:29
Yes, I'll see.00:50:30
Claudiomar then heads
for a huge tractor.00:50:35
Leandro, how much is this tractor?00:50:38
Today, this tractor is
worth around €180,000.00:50:42
€180,000?00:50:44
Yes.00:50:45
This all-option tractor will allow
you to plant 1,500 hectares.00:50:49
Basically, a soybean crop.00:50:53
I have a small one, but I'm going
to buy it to produce more.00:50:56
The three forces BOW, the Bible,
the Oxen and the Weapon00:51:00
got what they expected
from Bolsonaro.00:51:04
Far from this conservative and li-
beral Brazil, in the favelas of Rio,00:51:08
we try to forget poverty and
violence by celebrating.00:51:13
Hanging on the mountain,00:51:15
Vidigal is one of the few
peaceful districts.00:51:25
Filipe and Maeva made an
appointment to go party.00:51:29
They're waiting for their friend
who lives next door,00:51:33
but she makes them wait.00:51:36
We're downstairs at Carolina's,
but she's late, she's getting ready.00:51:42
I scream to pressure her.00:51:45
Where is Caro?00:51:47
After 40 minutes,
the 19-year-old girl arrives.00:51:52
You have to look good.00:51:54
When you arrive,
everyone looks at you.00:51:57
Are you girls okay?00:51:58
Yes, take a photo.00:52:01
As all young people in the favelas,
on Saturday, they go to a baile funk,00:52:06
a hot evening in poor districts.00:52:08
It plays provocative
music similar to rap.00:52:13
To get there, Filipe and his friends
take motorcycle taxis.00:52:17
After 10 minutes at full speed,00:52:19
they arrive at the nearby hill on
which the huge Rocinha is located.00:52:26
Rocinha is the largest
favela in Latin America.00:52:30
It is the biggest, the best known.00:52:32
It's a relatively dangerous favela.00:52:35
The gang that runs this district is
the same as in the City of God,00:52:39
the infamous Comando Vermelho.00:52:44
But when we go up, be careful.00:52:46
A palpable tension that does not
prevent them from celebrating.00:52:50
There is music and
everyone is outside.00:52:57
Filipe, Maeva and Carolina arrive
at the entrance to the baile funk.00:53:03
Come on, let's warm up quietly.00:53:06
Yes, it's going up, come on!00:53:09
The atmosphere is electric.00:53:11
Alcohol and drugs circulate.00:53:13
The girls are dancing to songs00:53:16
on the hard life of the favelas,00:53:19
of violence, but also of sex.00:53:22
Celebrate, with its risks
and its excesses,00:53:25
it's a form of resistance
to Bolsonaro's Brazil.00:53:29
It's part of the favelas culture.00:53:32
It is one of our ways of
showing what we are living.00:53:35
The people outside, the white
people, are listening to our funk,00:53:39
they like it and, beyond the music,
they listen to our message.00:53:53
The evenings are mostly
organized by drug traffickers.00:53:58
The police often come down
to close the baile rooms.00:54:02
With Bolsonaro, things are
not going to get better.00:54:06
Bolsonaro is racist, that's for sure.00:54:08
He doesn't like any minority.00:54:12
He is trying at all costs to silence
the voices of favelas and minorities.00:54:18
Symbol of the contradictions of Bra-
zil between violence and joy of life,00:54:23
the Baile Funk has already crossed
the borders of the favelas00:54:27
and much to Bolsonaro's dismay,00:54:29
it is already making all
young Brazilians dance.Description:
While the Amazon is in flames and the destruction of the largest forest on the planet is underway, the President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonoro, is increasing his provocations, even insults, against many foreign leaders. Since coming to power in January 2019, this far-right president has been accustomed to taking controversial positions. So much so that he is nicknamed the “Brazilian Trump”. The man, who wants to reinstate a military dictatorship in his country, prefers to see his son dead rather than homosexual. The one who does not hesitate to make fun of Brigitte Macron's age was largely elected by the Brazilian people, disappointed by the socialist left and the repeated corruption scandals. Jair Bolsonaro also received the support of the country's conservative forces, nicknamed the “3Bs”: the Bullets, the Bible and the Oxen. The Balls are the soldiers and police officers, on the front line facing the violence that is plaguing the country (63,000 murders per year). Since the election of Bolsonaro, the police have toughened their methods and are increasing their interventions against traffickers. Like the Rio state police who now kill an average of five people a day. The second force that supports the president is the Bible. In other words, evangelicals who defend a rigorous vision of society. Pastor Silas Malafaia, personal friend of Jair Bolsonaro, is the head of a church of 12 million faithful. Surrounded by his bodyguards, he wants to ban abortion, even in cases of rape, and to have homosexuals treated. The third support of President Bolsonaro is the Oxen (Agribusiness lobby). In Brazil, intensive agriculture is in the hands of a handful of rich families. Jair Bolsonaro, who described the Amazon as an “unproductive and desert territory”, encourages his farmer friends to conquer new virgin territories. A multimillionaire breeder, Claudiomar Vicente farms an area nine times the size of Paris. To monitor its 70,000 head of cattle, there is only one solution: the helicopter. But to get to Agrishow, a major local agricultural show, he prefers his private jet. Giant tractors, chemical seeds, XXL machines, Claudiomar Vicente spends without counting!
