Internet users contribute to a virtual crowdfunding to finance Jean Wyllys' documentary

In two months of fundraising, the campaign already has the support of 1469 people and raised more than R$ 129.550
 

At the guerrilla base, the production team Living Lens has been touring the country for more than two years to bring to the screen the fight for rights of the LGBT community and the reaction of conservatives and religious fundamentalistss.

Rushes, setbacks and setbacks are justified because making this documentary is, above all, embracing a cause. It never hurts to remember: Brazil is the world champion in crimes of homophobia. Every 28 hours, one gay is murdered.

The walk of Jean Wyllys As a federal deputy, he is the guiding thread of our history. The film reveals the behind-the-scenes of his parliamentary activity in Brasilia.

Everything captured by the attentive eyes of a discreet camera – more interested in the conversations in the hallway than the speeches from the podium. But #eu_jeanwyllys goes far beyond political cinema.

The documentary observes his interaction with the public, from Gay parade to television programs in São Paulo.

Check out the official teaser:

The film's title states the desire to be collective and to encourage interaction. Everyone can fill the space between #me and jeanwyllys however they want. It just cannot be ignored that he talks about a singular character, in the eye of the hurricane of a new time.

It's worth highlighting: this feature film is not an advertising piece commissioned by deputy Jean Wyllys. However, because it touches on controversial themes and presents a politician as the protagonist, the film faces difficulties in obtaining resources via public notices and tax incentive laws.

Therefore, the crowdfunding campaign is vital. It's not just about raising money to coldly cover the costs of making an independent documentary. What is at stake is an idea, a value, a message. It is the desire to open the rays of diversity and tolerance amid clouds so full of hate. If you identify with the cause and understand the importance of this work, contribute by clicking HERE.
