Multi-award winning documentary by Brazilian director José Padilha,
exploring the conditions and circumstances that led to an armed
siege on a Rio bus in June 2000. When Sandro do Nascimento, a young
homeless man evidently high on drugs, failed in his attempt to rob
Ônibus 174 in a wealthy area of Rio de Janeiro, he took the bus
passengers hostage armed with a pistol. The situation escalated as
the police, a SWAT team and reporters converged on the bus, and the
hijacking unfolded in front of a nation until it reached its tragic
and horrific climax. Padilha looks behind the event at the
circumstances of Sandro's life: he had watched his mother's brutal
murder as a small boy, and managed to survive the 1993 massacre of
homeless children at Candelária. The documentary shows the
desperation of Sandro's plight, using interviews with people
involved in the event, including members of Sandro's family, and
live television footage to tell this powerful and unsettling story.
This was the year a champion was made, and a legend was born as

In August 2012, mineworkers in one of South Africa's biggest platinum mines began a wildcat strike for better wages. Six days later the police used live ammunition to brutally suppress the strike, killing 34 and injuring many more.
Miners Shot Down shows the courageous fight waged by a group of low-paid workers against the combined forces of mining company Lonmin, the ANC government and their allies in the National Union of Mineworkers.
What emerges is collusion at the top, spiralling violence and the country's first post-apartheid massacre.
