Bus 174 – Social Meltdown in Brazil
Life is cheap in this searing Brazilian documentary about the real-life hijacking of a bus in Rio de Janeiro by a homeless, drug-addicted street kid. Broadcast live on Brazilian television, the four-hour stand-off let the nation watch as its incompetent, poorly trained police force struggled to contain the explosive situation. A stunning indictment of Brazil’s social meltdown, this startling documentary plays like City Of God – except this time the bullets are real.
