How carnival beats the drum for tolerance

Cork documentary maker Kate Hardie Buckley was in Brazil to film the changing dynamic for the country’s LGBT community, writes Ellie O’Byrne

Going to Brazil for the Carnival festival is a bucket-list dream for many travellers, but Cork documentary-maker Kate Hardie Buckley had bigger and more serious fish to fry. She was there to shoot a piece on the life for the country’s LGBT community since the rise of new president Jair Bolsonaro. It will be shown tonight as part of Channel 4’s Unreported World series.
