0:37Intro. [Recording date: November 27, 2025.]Russ Roberts: Before introducing today’s guest, I want to mention something important about when it was recorded.This week’s episode is about trying to understand violence against Jews and those who justify it.

The Secret Agent, the latest feature by Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho, opens on a desolate, sun-soaked gas station outside Recife, a bustling coastal metropolis in Brazil’s northeast. It’s Carnaval 1977, “uma época cheia de pirraça”—a time of mischief, the subtitles tell us. For those familiar with Brazilian history, this places us roughly halfway through the country’s 21-year military dictatorship, which lasted from 1964 to 1985. A man from out of town pulls up in a candy-yellow Volkswagen Beetle, the backseat loaded with boxes and suitcases. After parking, he notices something disturbing: a human corpse, barely covered by sheets of…
