The Edge of Democracy

Directed by Petra Costa

Written by Petra Costa, Antônia Pellegrino, Virginia Primo, Carol Pires, David Barker

A cautionary tale for these times of democracy in crisis—the personal and political fuse to explore one of the most dramatic periods in Brazilian history. With unprecedented access to Presidents Dilma Rousseff and Lula da Silva, we witness their rise and fall and the tragically polarized nation that remains.
