Defiant

2026 87 min Portuguese 14

Suzy is a mother of many children. After living on the streets for a few years, she found a career path in activism. Drawing on her experience as a beneficiary of social programmes, she reinvented herself as a manager, and today works as a harm reduction worker within the SUS, caring for vulnerable people. She is also committed to tackling transphobia in the conservative city of Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo. Trans, Black and from the outskirts, Suzy left the streets to enter politics.
