Charged with finding the most exciting voices in international and independent film, Focus World is proud to bring you VIPs, the thrilling new adventure from producer Fernando Meirelles (City of God, The Constant Gardener), based on a true story of one of the world's most legendary conmen.
Marcelo leaves his family and moves to Mato Grosso do Sul, where he learns how to fly airplanes by himself watching the pilots. One day, he responds the call of a drug dealer and uses his boss' plane to help the man to transport his cargo. He is hired by the drug lord to work transporting drugs in his airplanes. When he is arrested by the Federal Police, he does not rat his gang and the leader of the cartel gives a large amount of money as a bonus and asks him to leave the gang since he is known by the police. Marcelo uses the money to promote a party in the Carnival of Recife pretending to be the son of the owner of the Gol (a Brazilian air flight company). He lures the high-society, including the television presenter Amaury Jr. Marcelo is arrested again and is sent to prison. During a rebellion, he uses his leadership to present the claims of the prisoners and help to control the situation.

FLYING BELOW THE RADARIt is based on a true story about a kid named Marcelo alias -“Carrera”- who has big dreams of becoming a commercial pilot like his dad. He wants to be a commercial pilot so bad that he learns at a young age, all of the major International Airport hubs by name. But fate would take him down a different path & he ends up at a small (FBO) in rural Brazil. It is there where he earns his wings in an old Cessna-185 tail dragger in exchange for flying out drug shipments across the border for some players in the drug cartel. This movie is very similar to the movie: “Catch Me If You Can” but with a Brazilian flare to it. There are a considerable amount of twist & turns and serendipity seems to follow this young pilot whether he is on level ground or flying below the radar. So, fasten your seatbelts and put your tray tables in the upright & lock position. -“Carrera”- is your Captain & he is flying the not so friendly skies and your final arrival destination is a short and dark runway where anything can happen....Score: 5/5
