He is known as the "Trump of the tropics, " the "Cavalo, " the uncontrollable horseman, the disruptive populist, or even "The Myth. " Known for his anti-communist rhetoric, his provocative words on Amazonia, the dictatorship, women, homosexuality, firearms, and now for his seemingly unreadable governance. Yet, he is a political figure far more complex than the grotesque portrait painted of him. Supported by the country's various conservative forces he is already gearing up for the 2022 elections. And he has no doubts about its outcome : " I will leave the presidential palace in 2027! " .

Children of chaos, what became of WWII orphans

(2x45', 52' & 90') Produced by Elephant Doc for the France 2 prime time slot in co-production with Belgium and Poland, the film has been pre-purchased by RTS and ORF.

In 1945, fifteen million orphans roamed in the debris of a Europe recovering from the deadliest conflict it had ever known. Through recolorized archives, testimonies of survivors and reenactment, our film will relate this obscure and unknown episode of the immediate post-war period, overshadowed by the atrocities of the conflict. We will understand how over seven years, the victorious nations took control of the orphans, regardless of their origins, their affiliations and their nationality, all in the name of the state.

Teaming up with the best historian from France, Poland and the US on the topic, we will tell the stories of these children broken lives, forever in search of their families and homes.
