An intimate portrait of Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva, one of the world’s most influential political figures, chronicling his extraordinary path to regaining Brazil’s presidency in 2022 after a 19-month imprisonment. With unprecedented access to Lula da Silva and his closest advisors, Oliver Stone sheds new light on the charismatic politician in a series of unfiltered interviews and reveals the inside story of “Operation Car Wash” with the hacker and the “Snowden Files” journalist whose reporting led to Lula’s release from prison.

Timely and compelling, the film is a cautionary tale of the increasing danger lawfare poses to democracies around the world and an examination of one of the great political comeback stories of our time.
