Christian Nationalism, on the rise in Brazil and the U.S., is documented in the Netflix film 'Apocalypse in the Tropics,' directed by Petra Costa.

Costa’s new film, Apocalypse in the Tropics, examines the rise of Christian Nationalism in Brazil, which is impacting the country in profound and disturbing ways. One tradition of Christianity emphasizes care for the poor and downtrodden, and “the words of Christ like ‘love thy neighbor as thyself,’” as Costa notes.
