Armed robbery, drug trafficking, violet attacks – life in Brazil’s biggest metropolis is full of constant danger. Last year alone, thousands of murders, thefts and violent crimes were reported. This documentary dives into the darkest reality of Sao Paulo, from the relentless efforts of law enforcements to the courageous struggles of those determined to free themselves from the grip of a life of crime. Amongst those, a pastor leads the fight to save crack addicts from their mortal dependence on drugs. For others, like Antonio, salvation came thanks to mastering the brutal discipline of mixed martial arts.
