BrasíliaA Bolsonaro documentary declared a production cost of R$4,500.
Brazil’s film agency Ancine opened a review, saying the figure does not match the cost of a feature.
Entities tied to the film received R$1.5 million, including R$860,000 in amendments from Mario Frias, Marcos Pollon and Eduardo Bolsonaro.
Producer Dori Filmes told Ancine all technicians worked as volunteers, calling it a project without money.
Ancine has asked Dori Filmes to confirm the financing, and the film’s executive producer is deputy Mario Frias.
