The jury of the 2020 edition of the documentary film festival Storie Parallele in Salandra, Italy, awarded PATRIOTS DON’T DIE the Special Mention of the Jury. This year’s jury was formed by directors Maria Tilli and Gianfranco Pannone as well as actor Antonio Andrisani. The winner of this award is also granted future participation in an artistic residency in the Italian region of Basilicata. The statement of the jury:
“The jury marks with a special mention the documentary PATRIOTS DON'T DIE, by João Pedro Prado, crudely photographing the people of Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil, with a keen eye on the "belly" of the country that led him to power and that today minimizes the impact of covid.”
