Description
"Brazil is known for its beautiful beaches, lush rain forests, and vibrant culture. However, in recent years, the country has developed more of a reputation for corrupt politicians, kidnapping, and plastic surgery. [The film] connects these seemingly disparate elements and conducts a dazzling, yet harrowing, examination of the tragic effect that has reshaped the face of the country and created an entire industry built on corruption."--Container.
