YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Filmmaker Petra Costa's latest documentary "Apocalypse in the Tropics" examines the growth of the religious right in Brazil, which the United States encouraged during the Cold War to counteract left-wing Catholic teachings. This increasingly powerful evangelical movement aided the rise of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a close Trump ally currently on trial for an attempted coup.
