For the first time, a film takes us into the complex kingdom of drug barons. In the kingdom whose territories are for the most part the "favelas," it is often difficult to tell the policeman from the outlaw and determine which side he's on. This film spotlights a key problem: the residents of the "favelas", who serve the druglords and were long ignored by Brazilian authorities, have taken on a role in Brazilian society. Today, they wield power so menacing that the international community must sit up and pay attention to them.
