BRICS, the Worlds New Masterminds? 2026

Overview

Directed by Sophie Lepault, the film features appearances by Isabelle Miller, Damien Cochereau, and Jérémie Bernier.

The documentary details the group's efforts to establish a new world order, specifically through strategies to de-dollarize the global economy and expand their influence among nations in the global South. The film questions whether these countries will successfully supplant Western institutions and values with their own parallel organizations or if Europe will be able to rebalance the international playing field. The project is categorized under the documentary, history, and war genres.
