They Could Be Alive
2022, Portuguese. Directed by Irmãos Mesquita.
What would the pandemic have been like in Brazil if the government had used all the potential that the SUS (Brazilian Federal Health System) offers? What could the country's 300,000 health workers have done to combat the uncontrolled transmission of the virus? How many deaths would have been avoided if we had done contact tracing, mass testing and invested in effective prevention and awareness campaigns? How many children, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers and brothers would have lost the most important people in their lives if the president of the republic had not bet on the strategy of intentional contamination to generate collective immunity, despising vaccines and betting on charlatanism (and corruption)?
