"Narcos" star Wagner Moura says his Netflix film "Sergio" is a result of his efforts towards finding projects that do not present the Latin people in a stereotypical way.
The Brazilian actor plays the role of UN diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello in the biographical drama film. It also features Ana de Armas as Mello's wife Carolina.
Mello, who was reportedly branded as a "crisis junkie" for the world body, was killed in a hotel bombing in Iraq in 2003. The attack was orchestrated by the al-Qaida.
In an interview with Variety, Wagner said, "This film is part of a more ambitious and a political project that I have, which is to produce films here in the US about Latin people that don't reinforce stereotypes."
