Bus 174 (Netflix disc):
On June 12, 2000, a young man with a gun took the passengers aboard Bus 174 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil hostage. This documentary examines the event itself, the resulting media frenzy, the police response, and the perpetrator’s background.Documentary, a LOT of real footage, along with interviews and context around the hijacker and the way of life for the “street kids” in Brazil. A lot of missed opportunities/bad calls by the police during the situation, and unless you know the story already, you really don’t know how it’s going to end. I thought it was very good, very much “here’s what happened” without a lot of bias, because the movie presents as many angles as it can, with the interviewees.
I would recommend this, because it shows, in depth, the moment-by-moment decisions that goes into these situations; everyone from the hostages to the hijacker to the police to the higher ups in government.
This link is for a Nat Geo special about a bus hostage situation that happened in Manila in (I think) 2011 in which a whole of of stupid and tragedy happened. https://vimeo.com/57690855
