Give me a second, while I'll go and scratch Brazil off my "places I would like to visit" list. There, all done. On with the review.
This is a documentary that does not enforce one's faith in humanity. In fact, now I just want to harm some politicians and kidnappers. I knew I was in for some depressing stuff when the text "this documentary cannot be shown in Brazil" hit the screen.
Brazil exports some sick MMA fighters, but it also seems to be a breeding ground for extremely obnoxious people. That would be the politicians and the criminals. The situation is so bad, that there are even booming industries for things like courses how to evade kidnappings, ear reconstruction and selling private helicopters (the rich like to fly over all the crap, where they can't be kidnapped). And the politicians mainly just collect cash in corrupt ways, and don't give a *act of having sex, slang term* about the poor folk.
There are 80 cops in Sao Paulo that specialize in kidnappings, and over 20 million inhabitants. You do the math (seriously, I suck at math). That's a lot of crime. There is actually a scene where kids play kidnappers and pretend to cut ears from one another, while laughing merrily. Aww, that's so sweet, the next crop is already coming along! The documentary itself is decent, but there is way to much filler crap, like showing frogs being killed. Who wants to see that? More hard facts would have been nice. The subject matter seems to be pretty important, though, so it's good someone decided to tackle this topic.
If you want to be depressed, by all means check out this bundle of joy!
