Sergio (2020)
Synopsis
Charismatic and complex, Sergio Vieira de Mello
(Wagner Moura) has spent the majority of his storied career as a top UN
diplomat working in the world's most unstable regions, deftly navigating
deals with presidents, revolutionaries, and war criminals for the sake
of protecting the lives of ordinary people. But just as he readies
himself for a simpler life with the woman he loves (Ana de Armas),
Sergio takes one last assignment - in Baghdad, newly plunged into chaos
following the US invasion. The assignment is meant to be brief, until a
bomb blast causes the walls of the UN headquarters to come literally
crashing down upon him, setting into motion a gripping life-or-death
struggle. Inspired by a true story, SERGIO is a sweeping drama focused
on a man pushed to his physical and emotional limits as he's forced to
confront his own divisive choices about ambition, family, and his
capacity to love.
