‘Vitória Régia’ is a short film that imagines a chilling future for Brazil in 2025, where a far-right coup has overthrown democracy, resulting in the assassination of the president and the annexation of the Amazon rainforest by the United States. The narrative unfolds with a North American soldier leading journalists on a propaganda tour of an oil refinery in the newly claimed territory, complete with a replica of the Statue of Liberty. This dystopian vision reflects fears of what could have transpired had former President Jair Bolsonaro's coup attempt succeeded after the 2022 elections. The film, directed by Denis Kamioka, draws on real events and the ongoing struggles of Brazil's Indigenous populations, who face increasing threats to their lands and rights. The lead character, played by Alice Braga, represents the voices of those silenced under a regime that censors media and restricts access to the rainforest. With the upcoming presidential elections, concerns grow over the potential return of destructive policies reminiscent of Bolsonaro's administration, which saw significant deforestation and exploitation of Indigenous territories. The film highlights the resilience of Indigenous communities and serves as a call to action for viewers to engage with the political landscape to safeguard democracy and the environment.
