- Director: Jason Kohn Year: 2007
- Country: Brazil/USA Duration: 85mins
- Genre: Documentary Language: English/Portuguese
When the rich steal from the poor… the poor steal from the rich. An examination of corruption and class warfare in Brazil as told through the stories of a wealthy businessman, a plastic surgeon who assists kidnapping victims and a politician whose income relies on a frog farm.
Manda Bala artfully connects these seemingly disparate elements and conducts a dazzling, yet harrowing, examination of the tragic domino effect that has reshaped the face of the country and created an entire industry built on corruption.
“One of the best and most powerful films I have seen in years” Errol Morris

OFICINA PERDIZ
Perdiz opened his repair shop in Brasilia, the Brazilian planned capital, in 1969. Seventeen years ago he opened a theatre space with the play, ” Waiting for Godot” (Samuel Becket). Today he continues in the same location full of mechanical and theatrical pieces, but finds himself in Brasilia’s restricted zone subject to demolition at any moment.
