Excerpt from 'Another Silva? MJPOP Facing Violences Against Youths' by Reinaldo Almeida -

"Two mornings, two young people and two stories of human rights violations
by state agents. The same city, the same skin color: the reality of
youth struggling to survive amid brutal extermination of young blacks in
Brazil.

Sunday Morning, 2001, an adolescent goes back to his home after Sunday
worship in a neighborhood on the outskirts, when he is violently approached
by police trying to incriminate him and it keeps him hostage for two
hours.

Saturday Morning, 2014: a 21-years-old young person is at home when arrested

crime.
