Bateau Mouche: Sinking Justice

On December 31, 1988, around 150 passengers boarded the Bateau Mouche IV in Rio de Janeiro to enjoy the New Year's fireworks. Soon later, the celebration turned into a nightmare.

Families are thrown into the sea until a fisherman discovers castaways and bodies. After a dramatic rescue, survivors spend the night searching for their loved ones. Serious irregularities arise in the criminal investigation.

As a criminal investigation unfolds, survivors and the families of the 55 victims are shocked by a series of surprising revelations, making the Bateau Mouche case a symbol of the impunity and sluggishness of Brazil¿s justice system.

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the series, directors Guto Barra and Tatiana Issa reveal the challenges of bringing one of Brazil's most famous maritime tragedies to the screen.
