Brazilian Major Streamer Globoplay Bets on Global Reach of True Crime By Bringing Fourth Season of ‘The Anti-Kidnapping Unit’ to LA Screenings
Globo launches new season of 'The Anti-Kidnapping Unit': how a pioneering NGO spawned the production company cornering the true crime market in Brazil
Globo arrives at the buzzy LA Screenings with the international launch of the new batch, which continues to trail Detective Carlos Mendonça (Silvio Guindane) and Inspector Juliano Santiago (Erom Cordeiro) as they tackle the violent wave of kidnappings that plagued Rio de Janeiro between the late ’80s and ’90s. AfroReggae Audiovisual CEO José Junior tells Variety that his motivation to continue writing new storylines for the series comes much from the “love” the public feels for the main duo of Mendonça and Santiago. The film, which revolves around the devastating consequences of the territorial fight between drug traffickers and police forces in Rio de Janeiro, is directed by Afonso Poyart (“Solace”) and stars Juliano Cazarré (“Neon Bull”) and Nathalia Dill (“Pride and Passion”).
