The final film in the Human Rights Film Series at the Broadway Cinema, ‘Elite Squad’ (Tropa de Elite), will be shown on Sunday 26th October at 6pm.

José Padilha’s high-octane thriller follows Nascimento, the captain of an elite military-style squad that fights police corruption and drug trafficking in the Rio favelas. Hellbent on leaving his job due to the encroachments of impending fatherhood, mayhem turns to chaos when Nascimento recruits two honest cops to train as his potential replacement. A full-on, stylish and indisputably impressive film.

“A tough and realistic cop story that stays believable from beginning to end while delivering the truth about loyalty, courage and gut-wringing fear on an inner city military mission with no second chances.” - Monsters and Critics

The film will be introduced by Prof. Else Vieira (Queen Mary, University of London). The screening will be followed by a Q and A session.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Broadway Cinema. Student tickets: £3.
