Brazil lists within the countries having the most outstanding criminality rates, to the extent that certain favelas are also forbidden to police’s special militias. Yet, in view of the forthcoming 2014 football World Cup, the Government is willing to use any means in order to clean up the city streets. We managed to enter the heart of the poorest and most dangerous of all favelas in Rio de Janeiro, where very soon it is likely to be one of the bloodiest clashes between police forces and organized crime, while in prison the detainees already live in inhumane conditions, amidst dirt and overcrowding. Chronicle of a country on a war footing.
