Pig Slayers

Mariana Amaral Silva

“This mockumentary focuses on the music band ‘Mata Porcos’, a punk band from the village, who almost rose to stardom. John Maria, the presenter of this documentary and faithful admirer of Mata Porcos, visits all the historic places in which the band grew up together with his cameraman Canhota, with the aim of bringing this forgotten band to light.”
