Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
Faced with the overwhelming task of combatting drug trafficking across the nation, Brazil's Federal District deployed its military police to engage in a large-scale strike against the drug trafficking ring operating out of Ceilândia in 2013. The task force made sixteen arrests and simultaneously dismantled one of the largest illicit drug networks in the world. Joana Pimenta and Adirley Queirós co-write and co-direct the documentary featuring perspectives from Débora Alencar, Léa Alves da Silva, and Gleide Firmino.
