The mere mention of your name makes anyone shudder.

This documentary tells the story of traveling salesman Benjamin Abrahão Calil Botto. He followed a trail of horror into the Sertão to find the fearsome King of Cangaço. The band invaded cities, looted, castrated men, branded women with iron, raped and killed. When he was face to face with the bandit, he drew his weapon: a film camera. This video recounts the confrontation that marked the history of documentary in Brazil, with impressive images of Cangaço
