Hebe: A Estrela do Brasil

Rosana Botafogo

**English** Thinking it was just another tribute biography, I discovered that this incredible and courageous woman stood up to the dictatorship and censorship in the 80s, giving voice to LGBTQ+ people, talking about politics and HIV on open TV, at a time of prohibitions, fantastic...

Porque mulheres maravilhosos aceitavam homens pequenos e desprezíveis... Uma mulher esplendida, corajosa e muito a frente de seu tempo…
