From a search for truth
to a cultural movement
Brasil Paralelo (BP SA) was founded in 2016 by Henrique Viana, Filipe Valerim and Lucas Ferrugem, when they were 25, 24 and 23 years old. They were university classmates, but felt they were not receiving the best education through the higher education system, and decided to embark on a self-taught quest to better understand the world around them.
What started as small study groups quickly grew into large public events, and eventually into one of the most influential independent media companies in Latin America.
Today, this cultural movement expands beyond Brazil under a new name: Big Picture Originals — created to bring the same mission and values to audiences in the United States and worldwide.
Mission
To revive good values and ideas in everyone's hearts.
Vision
To be the most influential cultural ecosystem in the country.
Values
We believe that man was not born good, but carries within him the potential to be good, in a constant struggle against his fallen nature. History is nothing more than the unfolding of this struggle, where the search for truth and its transmission from generation to generation produces evolution, in a process of trial and error that cost our ancestors dearly.
Enriching society through pursuing truth and effective truth telling is our core mission. Truth is not relative; it is the highest good and an inexhaustible goal.
