Jean Charles de Menezes: The 8th Bullet Trailer English

This short film had its World Premiere at the Portobello Film Festival 2nd London Film Makers Convention.

Trailer of the experimental documentary short movie THE 8TH BULLET shot by Marcelo Paganini about the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes by the British police in Stockwell (London/UK) July the 22nd 2005...

Who will ever wipe my tear? Should I ask William Shakespeare? It is rudymentary my dear Washington... Sherlock, can you send the troops back to their homes?

It was around 11 am in Paris and Marcelo Paganini was inside the train for his first trip ever to London... At the same time it was around 10 am in London, and Jean Charles de Menezes was inside the Stockwell Tube Station in London... Two brazilian guys inside a train at the same time, but one of them had 7 shots in the head and one in the shoulder... The surviving guy arrives in London and tries to understand why... This experimental documentary is dedicated to Jean Charles de Menezes and Sérgio Vieira de Mello, brazilian victms of the Iraq war...

Being shocked is not enough to make a short movie... You need to find a way to put it in images, sounds and words... With this experimental documentary my goal was to break the barriers between narration, rap and singing, melted with the words and phrases found in London's subway and streets to try to make a sense out of this tragedy... The world is going insane once again and for mt first trip to London it was either pretend that nothing has changed in my life and keep dvcaming my holidays and never be able to look at my own face in a mirror again, or to shot this movie and try to find some hope in the middle of complete human craziness...

"The 8th Bullet" was shot without permission on the spot in London from July the 22nd (the day Jean Charles de Menezes was killed) to the 25th 2005... Permission was refused after the fact from different parts involved... The film was partially re-wrote, re-shot and re-edited to avoid as much as possible any legal trouble but trying to remain as close as possible to the original version...
