The present dissertation deals with the documentary 7 complaints: the consequences of the Covid-19 case by the company and audiovisual producer Brasil Paralelo as a tool for misinformation spreading on the internet, analyzing the involvement of the company disseminating disinformational governmental discourses during the Covid-19 pandemic. The objective is to analyze how the representation of a reality about the spread of Covid-19 and its consequences is built, recognizing how certain discursive memories (ORLANDI, 2012) are used and serve as a precondition for misinformation spread. For this, a filmic analysis (AUMONT; MARIE, 2004; VANOYE; GOLIOT-LETÉ, 2002), a discursive analysis (ORLANDI, 2013; PECHÉUX, 1990) and an intericonic (COURTINE, 2013) analysis of the documentary is proposed in order to identify the pro-government ideology of Jair Messias Bolsonaro discursive formations, serving as a dissuasion tool to maintain disinformational narratives, considering the influence of form, content and discourse in an environment controlled by big techs – in this case Google, owner of the social network YouTube – which hosts the film from the Brasil Paralelo company.
