“Bixa Travesty” (Tranny Fag) is a feature-length documentary picturing a Brazilian transsexual singer called Linn da Quebrada.Coming from a very poor region of São Paulo, she faces many prejudices, also for being black. Her funk music sounds like a “gun” against machismo.  With a really strong and daring presence on stage,  she constantly seeks to discuss and fight  paradigms and stereotypes.
