In 2015 Moura played Pablo Escobar in Netflix's critically acclaimed series NARCOS, arnering both him and the show Golden Globe nominations. Wagner Moura is a United Nation’s International Labour Organization Goodwill Ambassador and has for over a decade been advocating for laws and political campaigns to help end forced labour.

SYNOPSIS
1969. Marighella, declared Brazil’s public enemy number one, has no time for fear. On the one hand, a violent military dictatorship, with its heinous crimes of torture and infamous censorship. On the other, an intimidated opposition. Alongside guerrilleros 30 years younger than him and willing to fight, the revolutionary leader opts for action – all the while trying to a keep the promise of reuniting with his son, whom he distanced himself from in order to keep him out of danger.
