The main objective of the work is to analyze the use of journalistic transparency and self-referentiality as discursive strategies in the documentary "Cercados - A Imprensa Contra o Negacionismo na Pandemia". As well as, it seeks to present the context of disinformation and spread of fake news during the pandemic. The research also proposes to describe, through the narrative of the documentary, the transformations in the way of producing journalistic information during the pandemic in the year 2020. The theoretical basis of the investigation uses authors such as: Becker (2020); Seibt and Fonseca (2019); Klein (2013), among others. The study is justified by the relevance of investigating the modes of representation of journalistic work in a scenario of disinformation and crises, both in health and in journalism itself. For this, we have as support the methodology of film analysis by Manuela Penafria (2009), which guides the analysis of four sequences selected from keywords that express the objectives of the investigation. In this way, it is possible to establish, understand and interpret the relationships between the analyzed elements. As the main result of the research, we can point out that the documentary highlights the context of disinformation and dissemination of fake news during the pandemic amidst Globo's journalistic production, as well as presenting the use of transparency and self-referentiality in the broadcaster's productions, however, it does not it is possible to observe no trace of self-criticism or reflection in relation to the contribution of the media to the constitution of the scenario of political crisis that has arisen.
