Looking for full service SP production company for documentary series on Agua Espraiada Urban Operation
Financing a City’s Vision: The Social Mobilization of Land Values in São Paulo is a four-part documentary series created by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy that explores a large-scale infrastructure project called the Água Espraiada Urban Operation in São Paulo, Brazil. Urban operations allow Brazilian cities to recapture the land value generated by land use changes and public investment. São Paulo employed a unique financing tool, certificates of additional construction potential (CEPACs), which are tradable development rights sold at public auctions. Featuring the voices of favela residents, city officials, real estate professionals, and a range of academics, the series examines the Água Espraiada Urban Operation from multiple perspectives.

Agência Pública - The more prisoners, greater profit. (no english subtitles)
Today there are about 200 private prisons around the world, half of them in the United States. The model began to be implemented in the country in the 1980s, following the logic of increasing incarceration and reduce costs. In Brazil, the first private prison was opened in 2013. The slogan of it is "lower cost and higher efficiency," but experts doubt about what is considered "efficiency".
