The story
A cautionary tale of a democracy in crisis, the personal and political fuse in The Edge of Democracy explores one of the most dramatic periods in Brazilian history. Combining unprecedented access to Brazilian President Lula da Silva and former President Dilma Rousseff with accounts of her own family's complex political and industrial past, filmmaker Petra Costa witnesses and chronicles their rise and fall and the deeply polarized nation that remains.
