Manda Bala (also known as Send a Bullet) is a U.S. documentary film by Jason Kohn about corruption in Brazil. Subjects profiled include a businessman who bullet-proofs his cars, a plastic surgeon who reconstructs the ears of kidnap victims, and a politician who uses a frog farm for money laundering. Kohn has said "I really thought of Manda Bala as a non-fiction RoboCop depicting a very real broken and violent society." [1] It premiered January 20, 2007 at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
