MISTAKEN ‘SUICIDE BOMBER’ SHOOTING TO BE MADE INTO MOVIE
British director STEPHEN FREARS is helping to make a new movie about JEAN CHARLES DE MENEZES, the Brazilian man mistaken for a suicide bomber and shot dead by police.
The film will examine the build up to de Menezes’ death in London on 22 July 2005 and the impact his killing had on the Brazilian community in the city.
Frears will act as executive producer.
The movie will be directed by HENRIQUE GOODMAN, who says, "It’s a film about how their lives were changed by this tragic event.
"I think the public knows a lot about this story, but they don’t know who Jean Charles was, and who suffered because he died. That’s what we want to tell in this film.
"We’re scheduled to film this summer. Hopefully in Berlin next year, we’ll be at the film festival - that’s what I’m hoping for."
