Gone Shooting-Rio De Janeiro

Preface

Inspired by footage of police killing a bus hijacker, José Padilha's 'Elite Squad' is the most viewed film in Brazil's history (thanks to the country's rampant piracy) and won the 2008 Berlin Film Festival's Golden Bear. We met Padilha as he was finishing 'Elite Squad II'.
