Apocalypse in the Tropics
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.
