So there’s this documentary I saw many years ago called Onibus 147. Long story short, it’s about a kid in Rio who held some people in a bus hostage. I think it was an incredible experience to watch it but it has been like a decade since I did. Still, for some reason it has never left my mind. I can’t say it traumatized me or anything, but I was a different person after watching it. I’m not sure if I would have the political opinions I have today without watching this documentary.

Look, I just want to talk about this movie. If you are reading this thread and you’ve seen it jump in here and say something because it makes me really sad to think that the name Sandro Nascimento will someday be completely forgotten. Being exposed to the story of Nascimento and the way it ended was probably the first time I remember truly feeling anger at the good ol boys in blue, the first time I was able to truly conceive of what poverty means, the first sight I caught of the grinding, meat-splattered gears underneath the floorboards.

Maybe it’s not even an amazing movie, maybe I shouldn’t rewatch it and open that old wound, but right now it doesn’t really matter because I can’t find the god damn thing anywhere. If you know where it’s uploaded or where it can be found let me know.
