Juízo background

Juízo

A documentary that delves into the struggles of teenagers accused of theft, trafficking, and murder in Rio de Janeiro, shedding light on the complexities of Brazil's laws regarding underage crime.

The documentary film captures the trial process of several young individuals accused of serious crimes in Rio de Janeiro, with the director Maria Ramos observing and recording the proceedings over a period of time. Due to Brazilian laws protecting the identities of minors, the faces of the accused are concealed by using teenagers from disadvantaged neighborhoods as stand-ins.
