This film should hopefully get an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in the 2022 Oscars. It is hard to believe that anyone will make a better film than this.
There is no overacting, no over-pressing of points, just a simple "you-the-viewer-connect-the-dots" powerful presentation.
This is a human drama of the highest order showing what corruption does to millions of citizens, and anyone who follows South American politics will know that Brazil sits alone at the top in this respect. This film delivers punch after punch in the gut and towards the end you eventually realize that there aren't just 7 prisoners, there are actually 8 of them - I won't say why, but if you watch it you'll work it out.
It's a gut wrenching harrowing film of the highest quality.
The best outcome would be for it to receive a deserved Oscar as that might just start the beginning of change in Brazil.
Watch it !
