Synopsis
São Paulo spirals into chaos as the leaders of the organized crime syndicate "Brotherhood" are transferred to prison. In response, the faction initiates "Salve Geral" (General Salute): coordinated attacks on police stations and security forces. In the middle of this warzone, lawyer Cristina discovers her 18-year-old niece Elisa has been kidnapped by corrupt cops. Elisa is the daughter of Edson, the founder of the Brotherhood—making her abduction the spark that ignites an already volatile powder keg. To save her niece, Cristina must walk a tightrope between collaborating with the police and confronting her family's bloody legacy
Editor's Review
What happens when the production company behind City of God (O2 Filmes) teams up with Netflix's most-watched Brazilian series Brotherhood for its first spin-off? You get 'State of Fear'—a breathless chase through the backstreets of São Paulo that traps you in the middle of chaos. But what sets this apart from other action thrillers is how it blurs the line between cop and criminal. Lawyer Cristina must negotiate with dirty cops while simultaneously managing the wrath of a crime syndicate. One woman, two fires. And director Pedro Morelli shoots it all with seamless, long tracking shots that make you feel like you're running right beside her . Has Brazilian cinema produced anything this raw, this unflinching about violence since City of God? I don't know. But I'm asking: How deep into the darkness would you descend to save your family?
