CGiii Comment

Not pleasant viewing - especially if you are a member of the Brazilian middle-class.

It's hard-hitting and relentless - a knowledge of Brazilian politics would be helpful to get the full effect.

It is most definitely not a compliment to the country.

Difficult viewing and worthwhile for some.
