Panorama 2026
Panorama Reality Check
Looking for a reality check? Whether it’s escaping a threatening home
environment and entering a new world (“Gently”), grappling with family
structures (“Our Walls”, “The Amazing Adam”), a revelation that alters
the fabric of reality (“Ploo”), the fight for more women’s equal rights (“Virgin Fandango”), a traumatic event that casts doubt on one’s own behaviour (“Pinchu
is like that”), or a supernatural encounter in a mysterious high-rise
(“Dawn at Terezinha Building”): either willingly or unwillingly, the
protagonists in the “Panorama Reality Check” programme find themselves
confronting new insights, unexpected revelations and the limits of their
own perceptions.
