Alfred Enoch best known for How to Get Away with Murder sits down with multi award winning entertainment journalist Tanisha LaVerne Grant to discuss his latest role in "Executive Order" which premiered at SXSW FILM FESTIVAL.
In a dystopian near future in Brazil, an authoritarian government orders all citizens of African
descent to move to Africa – creating chaos, protests, and an underground resistance
movement that inspires the nation.
SHORT SYNOPSIS
Set in a dystopian near future in Rio de Janeiro, a lawyer (Alfred Enoch from Apple TV’s
upcoming series Foundation, the 'Harry Potter’ blockbusters and ‘How To Get Away With
Murder') 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 (played by international musical icon Seu Jorge)
and wife (Taís Araújo, one of Brazil’s leading actresses). 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 directorial debut of one of Brazil’s most acclaimed actors, Lázaro Ramos.
