Wagner Moura Uses Oscar Moment to Warn About Polarization and Democracy

Brazilian actor Wagner Moura, fresh from a best-actor Oscar nomination for The Secret Agent, uses the moment to warn that democracy is under threat from rising polarization and misinformation, drawing lessons from Brazil’s dictatorship and comparing it to Trump-era dynamics in the U.S. He argues art can reveal truth when politics grows louder, stresses the need for firm institutions and accountability for misinformation, and discusses his career and his hopes to work with directors like Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese.
