Cangaço 2019

Cangaço was a form of social banditry localized historically in the northeast of Brazil between 1870 and 1940, characterized by the activities of independent armed groups commanded by charismatic leaders.

The Cangaceiros were ambiguous historic figures: they participated in cruel and criminal activities such as looting, theft and murder, but at the same time they were not considered criminals by the majority of the community during their time.
