Blooming on the Asphalt

View on the Pragda STREAM site

As Jack starts his gender transition process, Brazil is plunged into a wave of extreme conservatism. For five years, we follow the transformations in both his life and in Brazil, as the LGBTQI+ community are challenged by an ultra-right-wing government and a devastating pandemic.

This intimate portrayal of Jack and his friends reveals a tender network of affection and solidarity that flourishes in the midst of adversity. Blooming on the Asphalt is a beautiful, vibrant documentary that captures the resilience and strength of queer Brazilian youth.
