The documentary "Apocalypse in the Tropics," directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Petra Costa, explores the rise of Christian nationalism and the influence of evangelical leaders in Brazil's political landscape. The film presents a decade-long examination of Brazil's spiritual and political upheaval, focusing on figures such as Silas Malafaia and the impact of the Bolsonaro administration, including the assault on the Palácio do Planalto against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The documentary draws parallels between Brazil's political crisis and the political climate in the United States under former President Donald Trump. "Apocalypse in the Tropics" premiered in select theaters in Brazil on July 11, 2025, and became available for streaming on Netflix on July 14, 2025. Critics have described the film as a powerful and disturbing portrayal of the threat evangelical movements pose to liberal democracy, urging viewers to engage with the issues rather than remain passive. The documentary follows Petra Costa's previous acclaimed work, "Democracia em Vertigem."
