Ganglands: Brazil

Deep in the favelas of Rio, a new gang emerges. A gang with drugs on tap, heavy-duty weapons, and a sinister reputation to match. Who is backing them? The gangmasters are always one step ahead of the Brazilian drug enforcement agencies. Luiz Alves is a tearaway teenager turned spy, recruited by the shady organisation Trojan Industries. Now he must become a mole and infiltrate the gang as a new initiate. But with guns on every street corner and the threat of exposure – and brutal death – hanging over his head, Luiz’s mission of discovery isn’t his biggest problem. Staying alive is.

A gripping gangland thriller by former Eastenders actor Ross Kemp, who won a BAFTA for Best Factual Series for his documentary show, Gangs.
