Werk it, Bro

'Werk it, bro' is a picture of LGBT youth in the outskirts of São Paulo, made by two characters, both 19: Edy, cisgender man nursing assistant, homosexual, resident of Capão Redondo (south of São Paulo uptown); and Jasmyn, student, non-binary transsexual, who lives at Edu Chaves park in the north region of the city. Sensitive and non-invasive way, the documentary follows moments of life of young people: the way to work, a visit to a gay nightclub in Capão Redondo with Edy, the first performance of Jasmyn as drag queen, and his show on São Paulo LGBT Parade. Amid the situations, young people reveal their life experiences, difficulties, fears and dreams, allowing the viewer to make contact with a world curiously mentioned as little in traditional gay culture low-income LGBT people. The film, financed through public bidding (8th Public Call of Canal Futura Journalism Center), was conducted by an independent team linked to the Public Agency for Investigative Journalism (apublica.org), independent journalism agency focusing on human rights.
