Set in a dystopian near future in Rio de Janeiro, a lawyer 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 and wife. 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 debut as a director of one of Brazil’s most acclaimed actors, Lázaro Ramos.
