Overview

In Apocalypse in the Tropics, acclaimed filmmaker and storyteller Petra Costa offers a haunting yet urgent examination of Brazil's descent into political chaos, fueled by the rise of evangelical power and far-right populism. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a country once celebrated for its diversity and progressive values, this gripping narrative uncovers how religion, politics, and media collided to reshape a nation-and threaten its very soul. From the fiery sermons of televangelists to the storming of Brazil's democratic institutions, Costa weaves a powerful story of how spiritual warfare and political ambition created a perfect storm. With clarity and compassion, the book explores the global parallels-from the U.S. to Hungary and India-revealing how religious nationalism is not just a Brazilian issue, but a worldwide warning. Through powerful storytelling, firsthand interviews, and stunning insights, Apocalypse in the Tropics is not just a documentary companion-it's a call to action. It challenges readers to look beyond the headlines, confront the dangers of unchecked theocracy, and fight for a future where faith coexists with freedom. For readers of political nonfiction, religious critique, and global democracy, this is a timely, eye-opening journey you won't forget.
