Correct. It's won numerous awards and has been cited as one of the best documentaries of the decade.
I couldn't find a trailer that looks original but you can watch the film in full on youtube.
Description:
"A young man from a poor background, bungled a robbery and ended up holding the passengers on a bus hostage for four hours. The event was caught live on television. The movie examines the incident and what life is like in the slums and favelas of Rio de Janeiro and how the criminal justice system in Brazil treats the lower classes. Within the film, Padilha interviews former and current street children, members of the Rio police force, the highly regarded Rio BOPE police team, family members, and sociologists in order to gain insight into what led Nascimento to carry out the hijacking."
Hint answers:
Jose Padilha recently created Narcos for Netflix and directed the reboot of Robocop. His previous film Elite Squad 2 (The Enemy Within) was the highest grossing film of all time in Brazil (also available on Netflix).
