Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Brazil's witness protection program (Programa de Proteção às Vítimas e Testemunhas) has been notoriously porous since the 2000s, with multiple high-profile assassinations of protected witnesses.
Originally developed as a proof-of-concept for a feature series, the 59-minute runtime was a deliberate constraint—Uranga wanted to prove Brazilian streaming content could compete with international short-form prestige.
