Apocalypse in the Tropics - SynopsisWhen does a democracy end and a theocracy begin? In Apocalypse in the Tropics, Petra Costa investigates the increasing involvement of evangelical leaders in the country's political decisions. With exclusive access to iconic figures such as President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, former President Jair Bolsonaro, and the famous televangelist Silas Malafaia, the filmmaker examines the profound role the evangelical movement has played in Brazil's recent political turmoil. As in her Oscar®-nominated The Edge of Democracy, Costa documents a period of great uncertainty with clarity and a poetic gaze. Weaving together past and present, she immerses us in the contradictory realities of a young democracy that is hanging on by a thread, and, in so doing, offers a disquieting mirror to the world.
