plus55 is the first platform created to bring content about Brazil to foreign audiences. It was conceived by a group of Brazilian journalists and designers who wanted to help solve a big problem: misinformation and disinformation about their country. They feel that the international media has neglected Brazil for decades and concentrates its coverage primarily on economics. While it’s an important issue, economics alone cannot help you understand all of Brazil’s complexities.

Brazil is difficult to understand. One of the world’s Top 10 economies, it is home to more than 170,000 millionaires – but also to 10 million people who survive on less than $30 per month. Brazil is seen as an exotic land of free love and liberal people, and yet Brazil is also deeply conservative. Brazilians have elected a female president, but domestic violence remains an endemic problem.

As you can see, Brazil is a land of contradiction and nuance.
