Urban Studies Foundation flyer for the documentary "Territory" by Telma Hoyle. Through Geraldo’s story, Territory explores how religion, crime, and entrepreneurial values are reshaping people’s sense of democracy. The documentary "Territory" centres on Geraldo, a left-wing candidate for São Paulo’s (BR) City Council in the 2024 municipal elections. A long-time activist in the Workers’ Party, the protagonist faces the challenge of adapting to modern campaign strategies, appealing to evangelical voters, and confronting the rise of the far right within his community in the city’s southern periphery.
