Bixa Travesty Synopsis: A portrait of transgender musician and artist Linn da Quebrada, who uses her body and performances as weapons to fight machismo, transphobia, and racism. She speaks of her growing up as a black queer in São Paulo's favelas, and the challenges of breaking into Brazil's heteronormative funk scene.
