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.

Linn Da Quebrada

Screenplay

In 2016, multimedia artist Linn found in music another medium to fight for the breakdown of sexual, gender and body paradigms. Her first single, Enviadescer, made a lot of noise because of its direct lyrics and a music video that openly displays transvestites and feminized bodies. Also with her other songs, like Talento and Bixa Preta, open promotion of sexual tolerance would be Linn’s main concepts. In 2017, the artist assumed another way of communication by launching blasFemea, her first audiovisual experiment, which she wrote and directed herself. She maintained her engagement, and in the same week, Linn opened a collective financing campaign for the production of Pajubá, her debut album, which exceeded her initial goal and was released some months later, in October.
