Synopsis:
Society of Fear (Sociedade do Medo) addresses the pandemic of fear that plagues contemporary man and investigates the construction of society through the lens of fear and its presence around the world. The documentary discusses the subject with personalities and specialists. It proposes a critical reflection, seeking the origins of a society absorbed in its fears and, consequently, in the fierce consumption of possible palliatives that contribute to leading us to loneliness and barbarism.
