Em Nome da América
The film portrays the controversial presence of thousands of young Americans in the Brazilian Northeast in the 1960s, with the Peace Corps volunteer program. Through testimonies, long archival material and historical documentation, "In the name of America" approaches the contradictions between the American foreign policy, established by John F. Kennedy, and the motivations of the volunteers, who found themselves astonished, in a region marked by hunger and violence. The 1964 military coup in Brazil, the Vietnam War, the infiltration of the CIA in Latin America round out the scenario and reveal the fears of elites and governments that the Brazilian Northeast became a "new Cuba."

I went to see this film last night and was immersed in it from the very first minutes
Well-acted by a great cast. Entertaining. Pulled me into story and interested until the end.
Loved this movie, the premise, the build up and action. The action was believable, and the story is one that is still playing out in this country.
This is a good movie I really enjoyed it worth my five stars
I loved this movie since i was a little kid and its one of my favorite movies in tell today!
