Review of Bus 174 (2002) by Matt C — 26 Jan 2013

A really excellent documentary detailing a hostage situation on a Bus in Rio. Having been there the undercurrent of violence to the city is a very real thing so this thorough examination of the favelas and the lost youths on the streets felt excellently done.

I almost wanted the film to go on for another hour to examine what happened after the dramatic conclusion but then you feel they may not have had such widespread participation. Fantastic and heartbreaking in equal measure.
