Synopsis

In 2008, a young man broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment and held her and her friend hostage at gunpoint for five days. The so-called "crime of passion" was covered live and received intense media attention, akin to a sensational telenovela. The film offers a critical analysis of the Brazilian police and media's role in sensationalizing violence against women, highlighting how such coverage contributes to the country's high rate of femicide.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
