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.
