*Brazilian Film Series: Notícias de uma Guerra Particular*
Directed by Kátia Lund and João Moreira Salles
Considered one of the best contemporary Brazilian documentaries,
Notícias de uma Guerra Particular (News from a Personal War) offers a
chilling portrayal of violence in Rio de Janeiro. Depicting the daily
life of a Favela that has been taken over by the drug war, the film
offers sharp interviews with several individuals involved in the
conflict including security specialists, policemen, drug dealers, and
shantytown dwellers who are trapped in the crossfire of a war that knows
no winners.
