This 2025 Netflix documentary follows the rise of evangelical fundamentalism in Brazil and explores how it has shaped the country's politics.

What would your country look like if its majority religion dominated every institution, from the media to the courts?

This is what filmmaker Petra Costa asked herself during Brazil's pivotal 2022 presidential election, which came after a period of increased religious integration into politics.

Made from a mix of archival and contemporary footage and interviews, Costa's 2025 Netflix documentary, Apocalypse in the Tropics, follows the rise of evangelical political ideology in Brazil, which climaxed in the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, and was halted by his loss in the 2022 election.

Costa is an Oscar-nominated documentarian whose work often explores politics and democracy.
