Synopsis : Documentary depicts what happened in Rio de Janeiro on June 12th 2000,
when bus 174 was taken by an armed young man, threatening to shoot all
the passengers. Transmitted live on all Brazilian TV networks, this
shocking and tragic-ending event became one of violence's most shocking
portraits, and one of the scariest examples of police incompetence and
abuse in recent years.
On June 12th, 2000, a bus full of passengers was kidnapped in Rio de
Janeiro in broad daylight. The kidnapper, Sandro do Nascimento,
terrorized his victims and when he finally agreed to surrender and the
episode was close to an end, a policeman tried to shoot him, killing one
of the hostages instead, a young woman. The whole episode was broadcast
live, causing revolt among the population. The documentary is about the
incident, with interviews, focusing on Sandro do Nascimento, his
childhood, and how unavoidably he was doomed to become a bandit.
