Synopsis

When does a democracy end and a theocracy begin? In Apocalypse in the Tropics, Petra Costa investigates the increasingly powerful grip Christian evangelical leaders hold over politics in Brazil. She 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: a magnetic pastor who aspires to play puppet master to the far-right leader.

Interesting facts

Director Petra Costa met Brad Pitt at the Academy Awards nominees' luncheon; he went on to serve as an executive producer on the film. She has said that, thanks to the recognition of 'The Edge of Democracy,' they were able to finance this project independently — otherwise it would not have been made, because when Jair Bolsonaro came to power his administration dismantled Brazil's National Film Agency and cut all funding for films.
