Petra Costa examines the turbulent recent political history of her native Brazil in this documentary (available to stream on Netflix) that also incorporates her own family story.
“A mournful but clear-eyed look at one of the many governments on the planet currently either going to or simmering in Hell, Petra Costa's The Edge of Democracy is as much essay film as a primer on Brazil's recent history.” —John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
