Captain Nascimento
Captain Nascimento is the protagonist of the films Elite Squad (2007) and Elite Squad 2 (2010).

The character has become a controversial symbol: for some, it represents the relentless fight against crime; for others, the criticism of police brutality and the failure of the state.
