Survivors, family members, and staff reveal what happened on April 7, 2011, at Tasso da Silveira school. Police, press, and society wonder why. Meanwhile, one striking fact stands out: out of the 12 victims, 10 were girls.
What comes after a massacre? Physical and psychological damage; erasure of victims in the media; a cult forms around the figure of the murderer. The investigation is concluded, but answers are missing. And they might be found online.
In chans, online extremist forums, and game chats, incels are recruited to kill and die out of hatred and fame. But everything could be different. "What are we doing with our children at home?" Asks the mother of one of the victims.
If the growing hate speech is the gunpowder, the expansion of access to weapons is the fire. In addition to the traumas, survivors deal with new attacks throughout Brazil. Life goes on, but we must remember to never forget.
