Producer of 'Dark Horse' Imposed R$ 1 Million Fine and "Irrevocable" Contract on Workers in Non-Disclosure Agreements

oglobo12 September 2026 at 07:30

Producer Go Up, responsible for the film "Dark Horse," imposed confidentiality contracts on all workers linked to the production, with a R$ 1 million fine and an "imprescriptible and irrevocable" obligation to maintain secrecy about the film's and company's information. The agreements were signed by various workers, from actors to an intern, and follow a standardized text establishing that the disclosure of any information from the producer to third parties would subject the contractor to the payment of losses and damages, legal fees, and the R$ 1 million fine.

The documents were handed over to Federal Police investigators who are examining the film's financing by Daniel Vorcaro, former controlling shareholder of Banco Master. The contract clauses define as confidential information all information, data, documents, films, images, and numbers related to the company and production.

The R$ 1 million fine amount is identical in all signed documents, regardless of the worker's role. The secrecy obligation established in the contracts has no statute of limitations and cannot be revoked, according to the text contained in the non-disclosure agreements.

Why this matters

The Federal Police investigation into the film's financing by the former controlling shareholder of Banco Master may directly affect the bank's clients and investors, in addition to revealing abusive practices in employment contracts that could set a precedent for other workers in the audiovisual sector. The R$ 1 million fine and the "irrevocable" nature of the agreements raise questions about legality and the protection of labor rights in the Brazilian film industry.
