Jefferson Walkiu is the new chief of the “Alpha Team” of a Brazilian prison housing over 900 inmates. It’s a dangerous job and the guards are badly equipped. Walkiu sets out with a lot of resolutions to professionalise his department. But even his permanent crisis management cannot avoid mishaps.
Aly Muritiba returned to the prison where he worked for seven years for this eye-opening, gripping documentary. This firsthand account of daily life within Brazil’s penal system doubles as a portrait of a righteous custodian, whose good intentions cannot transcend the rules of a corrupt structure.
