I like this series. Gritty, realistic, gripping.
Alemão is another Brazilian movie about the war between the police and drug dealers, who control some of the slums of Rio de Janeiro. This movie happens during a joint operation of the police and army to take control and pacify the Complexo do Alemão, which is big area with a lot of slums.
In 2007, the Rio de Janeiro government is preparing an operation with the police and army to invade the Complexo do Alemão, one of the largest and more dangerous slums of the South America, as part of the UPP Program of the State to retrieve slums controlled by drug dealers. The delivery boy Pixixo (Izak Dahora) is bringing classified documents with the identity of the undercover agents that are working in Alemão to deliver to the Chief of Police Valadares (Antônio Fagundes), but he is stopped in a checkpoint of the drug dealers.
