Dark Horse film debut in Las Vegas promotes Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential bid

The biographical film "Dark Horse," portraying former president Jair Bolsonaro, held its first public screening at a right‑wing summit in Las Vegas. Director Cyrus Nowrasteh said the movie is intended to rally Brazilian voters and aid Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign for the presidency.

Brazilian congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro attended the premiere, describing the film as part of a cultural war against the left and urging distributors to bring it to U.S. cinemas. The ruling Workers' Party (PT) has asked electoral and federal authorities to investigate the film's financing and its use as election propaganda. The Brazilian Supreme Court later sentenced Eduardo Bolsonaro to prison for alleged coercion of justices, a topic he referenced during the event.

The screening links U.S. right‑wing media circles with Brazil's political battleground, highlighting the film’s role in the upcoming election climate.
