Dir. Gabriel Mattar
\nSynopsis:”A look within young men and women in the military. At the Brazilian military academy, Cadets are on their way to become Officials. The film illustrates few characters followed to dissect their process of growing up. It is a coming of age story that focuses on brotherhood, how the Cadets learn that together they are stronger. Dramatic, sensitive, stunningly photographed, and full of action. A predominantly visual approach to documentary.”<\/p>\n
