Manda Bala (Send a Bullet) background

Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)

In the underbelly of Brazilian society, a tangled web of connections unfolds between a wealthy businessman, a plastic surgeon who caters to kidnapping survivors, and a politician whose influence is tied to a lucrative frog farm operation.

In this thought-provoking film, multiple storylines converge to expose the dark underbelly of Brazil's corrupt society. A frog farm in northern Brazil is revealed to be a front for money laundering, while a young woman recounts her harrowing experience of being kidnapped for ransom. Meanwhile, a plastic surgeon showcases his expertise in reconstructing severed ears, and a businessman prepares for the worst by arming his cars and taking evasive driving lessons. Against this backdrop of violence and corruption, law enforcement officials from Sao Paulo's anti-kidnapping squad, the attorney general, and a district attorney share their efforts to combat the pervasive problem.
