Golgotha is the place where Jesus was crucified. The project tries to understand the different faces of evangelization in the country, trying to find the gaps in between the biblical and the tupiniquim and the creative contradictions it brings. Contemporary Brazil brings this dual meaning: a territory where is a death machine, but also the place of resurrection and redefinition. Indigenous girls from Krikati Etnicity pray during a birthday at Sao Jose Krikati tribe, Maranhao state, Brazil. The Krikati ethnicity has been growing its evangelical population in the last 10 years. CONPLEI, Conselho Nacional de Pastores e Lideres Evangelicos Indigenas (National Council of Pastors and Evangelical Indigenous Leaders) is the organization responsible for organizing and mobilizing the "Third Missionary Wave". This wave is a movement that aims the conversion of indigenous made by other indigenous, instead of Europeans or white Brazilians.
