The huge rise of evangelism in Brazil - seeded by American preachers

A new Netflix documentary investigates the evangelical forces behind Jair Bolsanaro in Brazil, and how the seeds of the movement were planted in the 1970s by American televangelist Billy Graham. The film traces the extraordinary political power of the preacher Silas Malafaia, his deep relationship with Bolsanaro, and the havoc they created during the Covid-19 pandemic, when 700,000 people died.
