In Brazil, the percentage of evangelicals in the population has risen from 5 to 30 percent in recent years. Preachers from megachurches are waging a cultural war on issues such as abortion and homosexuality. This impressive and entertaining documentary shows how these fundamentalist agitators have helped the controversial President Jair Bolsonaro to rise to power in recent years, put faith on the political agenda and stormed parliament. A film about Brazil's political developments and the fragility of democracy.
