Garapa: Interview with Jose Padilha: Tribeca Film Festival

April 29, 2009--Award-winning Brazilian director Jose Padilha (Bus 174, Elite Squad) discusses his new film, Garapa.

Shot in the impoverished North East region of Brazil, this powerful and moving documentary chronicles the effects of hunger and malnutrition on three separate families. The last screening of this film at the Tribeca Film Festival will be on Saturday May 2nd, 6:30pm, at AWC Loews, 66 Third Avenue at 11th Street, New York. The film opens theatrically in Brazil on May 29.
