Storyville: Bus 174

Jose Padilha's nail-biting documentary recounts the events of June 12, 2000, when a hijacker seized control of a bus during the Rio de Janeiro rush hour. Unable to determine his motives or purpose, the authorities stood their ground for four hours and tried to talk the hijacker into giving himself up while the television cameras broadcast every second with shocking intimacy, capturing the attention of the entire nation.
