Behave
The greater requires the lesser
Directed by Maria Ramos
Produced by Diler & Associados, Nofoco Filmes Produções Cinematográficas
A sobering documentary examination of Brazil's juvenile justice system that uses ethical substitution to explore systemic inequality, crime, and moral culpability.
In Rio de Janeiro, over many days, the director Maria Ramos witnesses and films the judgment of several teenagers accused of stealing, trafficking and murdering. Underage youths are protected by the Brazilian laws and their faces can not be exposed; therefore, they are replaced by teenagers from poor communities.
