I recommend this Netflix documentary about the assault on democracy in the wake of Lula's social democratic revolution in Brazil, an assault that led to the rise of the fascist Bolsonaro. I've been to Brazil several times, and have many academic friends there, so have followed these matters for awhile. This documentary taught me a lot more.
