Vote of Faith follows the final, chaotic weeks of a mayoral election in the dusty interior of northeast Brazil. But this is in no ordinary election: a Catholic priest, Padre Jorge, is pitting his all against the incumbulent elite, a wealthy family which has ruled the town for decades, During their tenure, roads have crumbled, schools and health posts deteriorated, and water is in short supply. As an ordinary citizen, but also ‘Man of God’, Padre Jorge struggles to embody both secular and religious values. His odyssey offers an intimate window onto the complex intersection of radical hope and small-town politics.
