Carandiru was an awesome movie as well.
There was another scandal with the Education Department paying journalists to write favorable articles about the 'No Child Left Behind' Act. How dirty.
More than dirty, it's filthy and absloutely deplorable. But that's the m.o. behind the current regime so unfortunately it's something we'll have to be used to for at least another few years.
