Vārpa - The Promised Land

Vārpa - The Promised Land 2017 Directed by Bruno Aščuks Vārpa - apsolītā zeme

In the early 1920s, soon after the Latvian republic was established, about 2000 Baptists immigrated to Brazil to await the end of the world. It did not come, and Latvians created an island of Christianity in the middle of a rainforest. The Latvian language is still spoken in the Vārpa settlement, but the younger generations have left the area.
