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."

Such a crazy idea, thought, invention, creativity that blows our mind beyond conscious level.
The story was magnificent! Once again, Fernando Weller have proved their prowess in making excellent films.
Some may say this is a usual Fernando Weller movie. NOO! This movie was amazing to watch.
Every genre has the potential to be 'done well'... and this film meets those expectations.
Excellent movie. It made my day after being bedbound recovering from a cold.
Didn't really care about the weak plot and tropes. Good visuals and you'll probably enjoy it if you like Documentary.
Easily Fernando Weller masterpiece. The dialogue and acting are genius. Love this movie
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.
I rated this movie as excellent because it's one of my all-time favourite Documentary movies.
It's smart, intense, well acted and superbly done. AMAZING FILM!
Overall a great movie. Plenty of people have left reviews of this movie, so there’s not much else to say about it.
