Carandiru background

Carandiru

In a crowded Brazilian prison, a doctor develops an innovative AIDS prevention program, delicately addressing the intricate and emotional struggles of inmates while tailoring his approach to their distinct requirements.

In the largest prison in Brazil, Carandiru, a medical doctor named Drauzio Varella begins an AIDS prevention program, despite the prison being overcrowded by nearly 2,000 inmates. As he navigates the complex lives of the prisoners, he encounters a mix of hardened criminals and otherwise decent individuals who have been driven to desperate acts. Just as the doctor is making progress, a seemingly trivial argument over clothing leads to a violent uprising, which is brutally suppressed by the authorities.
