2009 | Directed by Henrique Goldman.
Jean is based on the true story of Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent Brazilian man killed mistakenly by the British police, following the 2005 terrorist attacks in London. But this is no sober dramatic re-creation: instead, the film tells the story of a young man in a new city, reuniting with a favourite cousin who has just arrived in London. The film shows the tragicomic situations Brazilians go through when moving to another country, making Jean Charles' violent death all the more shocking.
