This documentary shines a light beyond Brazil's soccer and carnival loving nation where corruption and class warfare is examined through several people from a frog farmer to a plastic surgeon, kidnappers, victims and various officials from lawyers to cops. It's fascinating film that will scare anybody to travel to Brazil, specially São Paulo. Brazil has the reputation of being one of the most corrupt and violent countries. So this film examines. The film is hard to watch at times and features some actual footage from a kidnapping. Director Jason Kohn manages to get candid interviews through translators instead of subtitles. It's also a beautifully shot film that should interest anybody. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
