Apocalipse nos Trópicos plot

When does democracy end and theocracy begin? In “Apocalypse in the Tropics,” Petra Costa explores the tightening grip of religious leaders on Brazil’s politics. She is granted extraordinary access to the country’s top political leaders, including President Lula and former President Bolsonaro, as well as Brazil’s most famous televangelist: a larger-than-life pastor who acts as a puppet master for the far-right leader.
