    Hernan Reyes meets the favela bosses

    Inside the office building, Hernan Reyes meets representatives of the territories under his influence. He recalls how the Portuguese arrived in Brazil around five hundred years earlier and subjugated the Indigenous population, then compares that conquest with his own effort to take control of Rio's favelas.
