The remarkable rise of one of the world’s most controversial leaders, Jair Bolsonaro, from obscurity to the presidency of Brazil.
Bolsonaro makes a remarkable rise from the political fringe to the edge of presidential power. He uses controversy and the power of television to lead a political insurgency.
Bolsonaro’s 2018 campaign turns him from rank outsider to president of Brazil. With his sons at his side, he uses social media to achieve an extraordinary electoral victory.
Coming to power on a platform of radical, populist change, Bolsonaro sets out to deliver for his base from the beginning. Determined to commercially exploit the Amazon rainforest – whatever the cost – the next four years have a profound effect on Brazil and the rest of the world.
