SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no winners in the war that is being fought between the favela’s drugs smugglers and the police forces in Rio de Janeiro. In the first scene, the camera crew is in the middle of a crossfire between the two sides of the drug war taking place in Rio. Through personal stories from both sides of the conflict, we reach deep into the violent conflict, which has cost many lives in the Brazilian megapolis. Every year, 60,000 murders are committed, and on average one police officer is killed every other day. Many inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro consider being a policeman as a certain road to death, while drug traffickers claim that the conflict is due to police brutality and trigger-happy officers who regard murder as a form of self-defense.
Journalists, historians and judges give us an insight into the structural causes behind a situation where everyone is a loser – not least the survivors. Renato Marten’s investigative film digs a few levels deeper into the brutal conflict, where the country’s traumatic past with slavery and military dictatorship still haunts the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
