Overview
Away Days S01E02 // The Red Command drug cartel in Brazil is considered a plague by the government. But for the people of the favelas they control, Red Command is the government. They’re the defacto leadership of the area. Formed in 1979, Red Command has taken over the role of the authorities in their shanty towns, as the state has long abandoned them. Away Days got special access to the Rio favelas, hanging out out with young foot-soldiers, speaking to commanders, and seeing how civilians live between the gangs and the equally violent police militias.
