Description

Lis (aka Lisa), Lu (aka Luciana) and Leco (aka Leandro)-three friends bonded by their love for Brazil's unique street art "pixo", also known as picha o or pixa o, a distinctive style of tagging unique to Brazil-strive to be good in a place where corruption still thrives. After Lis witnesses injustice and abuse of power on the streets of S o Paulo, she enlists her friends to take matters into their own hands. Their plan works until they realize they've become privy to sensitive information belonging to holdovers from the country's brutal dictatorial past who are plotting against the movement for reform and an upcoming election. Armed with a can of spray paint and the help of a journalist, can they escape the dangerous and life-threatening plot they've mistakenly become entangled in? Red Tag is a fast-paced thriller set in Brazil, starring three young friends looking for justice in a system built to silence their voices.
