"Tropical Utopia" is a documentary that invites reflection on the political, social, and economic issues that have shaped Latin America. Often portrayed as somewhat unruly occupants of the North American backyard, the peoples of Latin America, particularly Brazil, have their civilization's proposal and struggle for independence story told by American linguist and political analyst Noam Chomsky and Brazilian diplomat Celso Amorim. As both characters and observers of nearly a century of history, Chomsky and Amorim shed light on key events of this journey and seek the glimpses that point towards a fairer and more plural Latin America.
