Two Unreported World reports from Brazil, filmed as the country's violence and politics collide. In the first, presenter Ade Adepitan enters one of Rio de Janeiro's most dangerous favelas as the Brazilian army backs up police in a crackdown on drug gangs, joining young local journalists who report from inside the conflict most outside crews cannot reach. Gunfire, checkpoints, and interviews with residents caught between gangs and soldiers show what daily life looks like under occupation. The second report, presented by Seyi Rhodes, examines President Jair Bolsonaro's effect on Brazil's LGBT community at a time when the country has been ranked among the most dangerous in the world to be gay or trans. Rhodes meets activists and victims' families in the run-up to Carnival, tracing a rise in attacks alongside the president's rhetoric. Both segments keep to the series' format: a reporter on the ground, unscripted encounters, and testimony from people living the story rather than commentators describing it from a distance.
