Wagner Moura - Preserving Historical Memory in “The Secret Agent” | The Daily Show

Actor Wagner Moura joins Jordan Klepper, fresh off of his Golden Globe win for his performance in “The Secret Agent.” Moura, a Brazilian native, describes how the film, which takes place in 1977 Brazil during a heavy dictatorship, was a way for him and director Kleber Mendonça Filho to process their perplexity after their country’s return to dictatorship values with the election of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro in 2018. They also discuss how this period piece resonates with Brazilians today, as well as audiences all over the world who are likewise facing authoritarian threats, the importance of retaining historical memory in order to avoid repeating past mistakes, and why he gravitates towards projects that merge art with politics. #DailyShow #WagnerMoura #TheSecretAgent #Brazil Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.
