Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly critiques the rise of far-right politics, Christian nationalism, and authoritarianism, linking them to policies and ideologies that are core concerns of progressive movements.

Directed by a woman, this documentary critically examines the rise of far-right politics and evangelical influence in Brazil, particularly during Jair Bolsonaro's presidency. It highlights the negative impact of these movements on democracy and marginalized communities, addressing issues such as anti-Indigenous discrimination, homophobic policies, and the dangers of Christian nationalism.

Secondary

It highlights the movement's grip over politics and its association with problematic policies, such as favoring prayers over science during COVID-19.
