A member of Porta dos Fundos says incident is ‘an attack on freedom of expression.’
On Wednesday, a video circulating on social media showed three masked men claiming to have carried out the attack in retaliation for “an attack against the Brazilian people’s faith.” The attack, in which no one was hurt, took place Tuesday night at the studio of a group of actors called Porta dos Fundos, whose 46-minute film “Christ’s First Temptation” began streaming on Netflix on Dec 3.
It has angered many evangelicals and Catholics, and hundreds of thousands of people signed a petition to have it taken down.“We believe in freedom of expression but is it really worth attacking the faith of 86% of the population?” he wrote.
