Title: Sad, but true
Product review: At the end, you realize that it was based on a true story, which makes this movie sadder than had it just been based on a novel. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. Although I can't speak a word of Portuguese, the acting was so real that I could completely understand what was going on.I am glad to read that this movie sparked changes in Brazillian policy toward the poor. While being poor is not a crime, this movie shows how poverty can lead to crime and an endless cycle of continued violence.This is a great movie for wayward teenagers to watch, so that they can see with their own two eyes that crime does not pay - it only leads to a spiral of death and hopelessness.
