"O primeiro golpe do Brasil" narra um período específico e definitivo da mal contada história do país, com impactos até os dias de hoje: o golpe de 1823, liderado pelo jovem português recém-coroado D. Pedro I. Com o manto de imperador, Pedro fechou a Assembleia Constituinte, que propunha um caminho liberal para o Brasil, perseguiu aliados e inspiradores, prendeu e baniu adversários, censurou a imprensa, cercou-se de conterrâneos despreparados, alimentou-se do escravismo e promoveu os escravistas.
