"Favela Rising" (full movie)

Vigario Geral is the name of one of the dangerous favela in Brazil and there's an extended discussion on Documentary Storm along with another link to the full movie.  About twenty years ago, four policemen were shot and killed in the favela.  In retaliation, the police assassinated twenty-one people.  The term 'assassination' is appropriate as none of the people who died had anything to do with the killings of the cops.

One of the people who was assassinated was the brother of a musician.  This is what happened.
