Not My Fault: Brazil(2022)

Not My Fault: Brazil is a documentary series that examines femicide in Brazil through ten stories rooted in real events. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Carnaval—a celebration of sexual freedom, artistic expression, and joy—the series reveals a stark cultural contradiction: even the country's most exuberant festival cannot mask the epidemic of violence against women. Each episode unpacks a different case, exposing how femicide persists within Brazilian society despite the nation's outward celebration of life and freedom. The series balances the spectacle of Carnaval with the sobering reality of systemic gender-based violence, challenging viewers to confront the gap between Brazil's festive image and its darker truths. A powerful examination of how violence against women remains invisible within a culture defined by celebration.
