Cercados

"The Covid-19 pandemic brought many challenges to society in 2020. One of them was for the press. After all, there was the professional duty to continue on the streets while the number of deaths from the new coronavirus grew every day, along with fake news and denialism. 'Cercados' is an original documentary from Globoplay that follows this day, alongside journalists from outlets such as O Estado de S.Paulo, Associated Press, O Globo, Folha de S.Paulo and, of course, Rede Globo - including the Jornal Nacional. That's why this is a portrait behind the news, with the difficulties of covering such a large - and important - event. There are, at certain moments, a tone of self-criticism on the part of the press itself. It also helps to understand the commitment of these professionals and to make judgments about their behavior and that of the Brazilian government during this period."
