Notable participants include Cesar Charlone and Fernando Meirelles, the "City of God" director and cinematographer, re-teaming for a project about a 1971 jailbreak. Angela Chaves, creator of the Netflix hit "Desperate Lies," and "Sissi" co-head writer Robert Krause are also presenting their works, highlighting the caliber of talent involved.
