Reviewing COPA 181, a hot and steamy Brazilian bathhouse dramedy from director @dannon_lacerda screening TONIGHT for #REELING2019, @edgemedianetwork writes:
"'Copa 181' is another well-made LGBTQ movie from Brazil, where the government, under self-proclaimed gay hater Jair Bolsonaro, has recently declared that government funds will now be withheld from cinema projects containing LGBTQ content. That's a shame, but also a challenge. Filmmakers and their audiences have their work cut out for them if they wish to defend freedom of expression - and this often-graceful film is worth supporting."
We couldn't agree more.
In the face of such abject hate and intolerance, it is evermore incumbent upon us to support queer filmmaking projects, not just at home, but internationally as well. Follow the link in our bio to get your tickets now!
