Murderers, rapists, stool pigeons, drug addicts. They were the feared ones, the criminals who really ran Carandiru, Brazil's largest correctional facility: Ebony, an honorable thief and respected leader; Highness, a smooth operator with two families to support; Ezequiel, an ex-surfer turned crack addict; Dagger, a brutal killer with God on his side. They were among the prison's elite, the select few who ruled Carandiru by their own codes and laws. A rule that would end in bloodshed when 300 policemen stormed the facility and brutally murdered 111 unarmed inmates. This is the true story ofthat infamous day in October 1992, a day that shocked the world. The day of the Carandiru Massacre.

Wirklich krasse Zustände in diesem brasilianischen Knast. Zeig das Leben der Sträflinge aus einem anderen Blickwinkel (nicht so wie in den meisten Hollywood Knast-Filmen).

Für Liebhaber des lateinamerikanischen Kinos ein Muss! Eindrückliche Bilder. Aber nichts für schwache Nerven...
