Lucio Flavio
Directed by Héctor Babenco
Produced by Embrafilme, HB Filmes
A gritty crime drama rooted in Brazilian corruption and state violence, following a charismatic fugitive whose bold robberies mask a darker reckoning with institutional brutality.
Story of Brazilian bank-robber Lúcio Flávio, who fascinated some people in Rio de Janeiro during the 1970s for his bold robberies and spectacular escapes, and also because he was thought to be intelligent and "politically aware". Before dying, he disclosed a network of corruption in Brazilian Police, and its involvement with the infamous "Death Squad" of the time, a group of policemen who went about killing criminals without giving them a fair trial.
