Executive Order
Directed by Lázaro Ramos
Brazil | 94 minutes | 2020
In a dystopian near-future in Brazil, an authoritarian government orders all citizens of African descent to move to Africa–creating chaos, protests, and an underground resistance movement that inspires the nation.
Set in a dystopian near-future in Rio de Janeiro, a lawyer (Alfred Enoch from Apple TV’s upcoming series Foundation, Harry Potter, and How To Get Away With Murder) sues the Brazilian government for reparation of all descendants of African slaves in the country. The authoritarian regime responds by signing an executive order forcing all black citizens to move to Africa. While the army and police enforce martial law, he inspires an underground movement, enlisting his cousin (played by international musical icon: Seu Jorge) and wife (Taís Araújo, one of Brazil’s leading actresses). The three of them fight the madness that has taken over the country and spark a resistance that changes the nation. Executive Order is the directorial debut of one of Brazil’s most acclaimed actors, Lázaro Ramos.
Lázaro Ramos is one of Brazil’s most acclaimed entertainment figures, known for his work as an actor, director, author, and internationally known humanitarian. Over the last 20 years, he has received over 70 awards, and has played over 100 roles in cinema, theater, and television. Executive Order is his feature directorial debut.
