"Brazil's massive $130 billion debt is the ultimate cause of the shocking assassination of 500 street children a year in Rio de Janeiro. This hard-hitting docu-drama argues that the children's only crime is that they are poor and have nowhere to go. The film examines the links between Brazil's economic crisis and its tragic social and ecological plight following 500 years of domination and exploitation by Europeans, Americans, and now Japanese."
"This film shows how dire economic conditions in Brazil have led to the murder of 500 street children per year. A staggering debt, uncontrolled deforestation, and massive dislocation have all contributed to this scandalous murder spree."
