Movies by Pedro Kos

Pedro Kos is a versatile and acclaimed Brazilian-American filmmaker whose unique visual style and empathetic storytelling have captivated audiences worldwide. With a diverse filmography spanning documentary, drama, and political thriller, Kos has established himself as a director unafraid to tackle complex, socially-conscious subject matter. Kos first gained recognition with his 2017 documentary Bending the Arc, an intimate and inspiring look at the global health non-profit Partners In Health. Blending stirring real-life footage with a lyrical, almost dreamlike aesthetic, the film showcases Kos' ability to find the human drama and emotional resonance at the heart of pressing global issues. He continued this thematic thread in 2021's Rebel Hearts, a gripping chronicle of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and their defiant stand against the patriarchal power structures of the Catholic Church. In more recent years, Kos has demonstrated his range by venturing into narrative fiction. 2024's The White House Effect, a taut political thriller, put his knack for taut, edge-of-your-seat pacing on full display. And in the moving 2021 drama Lead Me Home, Kos' empathetic lens brought a refreshingly humane perspective to the issue of homelessness. With his latest film, 2025's In Our Blood, Kos has cemented his status as a cinematic voice to be reckoned with - a director unafraid to grapple with the complexities of the human experience through a bold, visually striking cinematic lens.
