A mother in search of her child, a child in need of a mother… These two parallel stories culminate in the hijacking of a bus, a fictional account of the real event which occurred in the midst of a residential area in Rio de Janeiro, in June, 2000.

From the writer of City of God comes this gripping and vigorous drama set in the favelas of Rio, and based on the real hijacking of a bus in June 2000. Last Stop 174 explores and interweaves the lives of two characters, and the violent circumstances which led to the now famous event.
