Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among spy-story fans and anyone who loves an underdog, this one's for you. Nobody is quite who they seem. Liked 13th? This is a good next one. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The Favela Pacification Program was launched in 2008 to reduce crime and drug trafficking in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In April 2015 however, police shot and killed 10-year old Eduardo in Complexo do Alemão, causing uproar in that community. Alemão and other pacified communities began to realise that the program had become the very thing it was designed to destroy. Taking place in the build to the 2016 Olympic Games, this is the side of Rio that you have never seen before.
