A little help with a film title please. (1 Viewer)

After watching the fantastic 'Ross Kemp On Gangs' in Rio last night I got to thinking about a film I saw a few years back about a load of in-mates in a Brazilian prison. The film was a true story based on a doctors diaries and notebooks.

It was really harrowing and judging by what they showed last night sadly was quite true to prison life over there.

If anyone knows the name of it could they please help.

Cheers.

It's not 'City of God', is it? That's based on true accounts of life in Rio's slums...


If not, check it out anyways.

It's Carandiru

That's the one thanks.

It's a really good film if anyone is interested, not as good as the aforementioned City of God but still well worth seeing.
