mr catra

Mr Catra calls himself O Fiel, The Faithful, and he is indeed very faithful, in his own way, to God and to his facção, Comando Vermelho, the most powerful criminal organization in Brazil.

Mr Catra, 36 years of age, is no longer actively engaged in criminal activities. Instead, he leads a hectic family life with his “wives” (the mothers of his nine children), and a dozen steady girlfriends, all of whom he struggles to support through Baile Funk.

This film offers you an insight into a unique part of Rio de Janeiro that the official Brazilian society abstains from acknowledging. Poverty-ridden and druglord-controlled, the favelas, for the most part, are totally inaccessible to cameras. This film is the exception.
