Who Wants to Steal Your Beach? 2026

Overview

Who Wants to Steal Your Beach? is a 2026 documentary film that examines the political and social implications of the proposed constitutional amendment known as the Beach Amendment, or PEC das Praias. The twenty-seven-minute film explores the potential consequences of this legislation, which would alter the ownership status of the Brazilian coastline. According to the production, the amendment is championed in the Senate by Flávio Bolsonaro. The documentary argues that the proposal could facilitate the transfer of control over coastal areas to luxury condominiums, resorts, and hotels. Such a shift, the film suggests, would prioritize access for tourists while restricting or removing the ability of Brazilian residents to utilize the sand and sea. The project draws comparisons to existing models of coastal development found in locations such as Cancún. The cast of the documentary includes Luana Piovani, Puterrier, Flávio Bolsonaro, and Neymar. The film was released in Brazil on October 7, 2026.
