Evangelism—a Protestant movement centered on personal salvation and Biblical authority—washed up on Brazil’s shores with Billy Graham and Henry Kissinger, who saw religion as a tool to safeguard U.S. interests. Their mission: spread Catholicism and curb communism. What followed was an era of “Christ and capitalism.” Pastors fanned out across the country, from the Amazon to the Atlantic, setting up shop anywhere they could. Today, evangelicals number 50 million—about 30 percent of the population—and, Petra Costa argues in her latest documentary, they played a central role in electing Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s answer to Trump. Following her Oscar-nominated 2019 feature The Edge of Democracy, this one is arguably just as riveting. —Elena Clavarino
