You can never trust any political-evangelist. Because if they think it is God's will, they can't self-correct. Whatever action means it was "meant" to be or directed by God, and that's dangerous. Theology in politics = unfairness.

I like Petra Costa's approach to her documentaries. This essay-like style provides a clear structure, and the filmmaker simply has an eye for the right footage at the right time. Furthermore, like its predecessor, "The Edge of Democracy," her new film, "Apocalypse in the Tropics," benefits from the obviously extensive access Costa has gained to numerous high-ranking politicians. In terms of content, this time the focus is on the growing influence of Protestant evangelical preachers on politics in Brazil—a topic that can certainly be applied to other countries as well. As an atheist, you can only shake your head at these people. Above all, however, it is frightening to realize how easily democracy can be undermined. Anyone who is even slightly interested in politics and the background to it should definitely watch "Apocalypse in the Tropics."

What a fantastic sequel to The Edge of Democracy The exportation of evangelical christianity from the USA to Brazil and the similarities of current division between the two countries politically is astonishing And the thread that binds them together: Religion Can you imagine a world with no theocratic ideologies
