Vidiots and Netflix invite you to a special theatrical screening of Apocalypse in the Tropics followed by a conversation with writer/director/co-producer Petra Costa and co-producer Alessandra Orofino.
When does a democracy end, and a theocracy begin? In Apocalypse in the Tropics, director Petra Costa takes us on a decade-long journey through the spiritual and political upheaval of Brazil. What begins as a search for signs of life in a fragile democracy transforms into a deeper inquiry into the seductions of power, prophecy and belief. Costa gains extraordinary access to current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, former President Jair Bolsonaro and the nation’s magnetic televangelist Silas Malafaia. More than a chronicle of political change, Apocalypse in the Tropics is a cinematic investigation of the fault lines that emerge when religion fuels political ambition.
Doors will Open at 6:00pm, Screening will start at 7:00pm, with conversation to follow.
