When does a democracy end, and a theocracy begin? Academy Award nominee Petra Costa's (THE EDGE OF DEMOCRACY) latest feature investigates the increasingly powerful grip of faith leaders over Brazil's recent political turmoil. Costa gains extraordinary access to the country's top political leaders, including President Lula, former President Bolsonaro, and Silas Malafaia, Brazil's most famous televangelist, who played puppet master to the far-right leader. Weaving together past and present, APOCALYPSE IN THE TROPICS documents a time of profound confusion and despair with lucidity and a poetic eye.
