When does a democracy end, and a theocracy begin? In APOCALYPSE IN THE TROPICS, Petra Costa investigates the increasingly powerful grip that faith leaders hold over politics in Brazil. Costa gains extraordinary access to the country’s top political leaders, including President Lula, and former President Bolsonaro, as well as to Brazil’s most famous televangelist, immersing us in the contradictory realities of a young democracy that is hanging on by a thread.
