L.A. Screenings Spotlight: Bandeirantes Communication Group

LOS ANGELES: Brazil takes center stage in a number of the current productions from Bandeirantes Communication Group.

Across the genres of reality, fiction and documentary, Band is offering titles that “show the various realities in the country,” says Elisa Ayub, the company’s director of international contents. One of the series being presented is Elite Police Force, which follows four seasoned cops who are transferred to a suburban police station. There is also Los Hermanos Lost in Brazil, a reality show that watches as three men—an Argentine, Paraguayan and Uruguayan—navigate Brazil over the course of one month. Also in the way of factual programming, Brazil: Challenges of a Country You Don’t Know explores the most remote parts of the nation. Additional offerings from Band include Chef’s Favorite Choice, a culinary entertainment series.
