War
Documentary series. A look at Rio's drug-trafficking favelas, being 'pacified' by the government's special forces ahead of the World Cup in increasingly violent incursions.
This episode takes a look at the drug-trafficking, gang-controlled favelas, which are being pacified by the government's special forces ahead of the World Cup and Olympic Games.
In the favela Complexo da Mar茅, Carlos runs the local Residents' Association. Until a few years ago, he was a high-ranking drug trafficker himself, but when he found out his wife Adrianna was pregnant with twins, he decided to take a more conventional career path. Now Carlos is campaigning against the government's incursions, especially if they come in with tanks and helicopters during his children's school run.
Meanwhile, in the favela Complexo do Lins, Breguete has reached the finals of a dance competition. If he wins, the prize money would be enough to build his own favela house so that he could finally move in with his girlfriend and two young children.
All the while, the government incursions are becoming more and more frequent and violent, with demonstrations against the World Cup and Olympics breaking out across the city.
