Abstract
This paper develops a reflection on the characteristics and meaningsof war based on the documentary Falcao, drug traffic boys by MV Bill and CelsoAthayde. It is a kind of war of which speech is related to inevitability, with afeeling that there is no other possible path, and to the prevention of someprobable violence, worse than the one brought about by war. It is a speech thatfinds its space in the institutionalization of fear, in the suppression of thesubject of right, and in the loss of the human. It is making life and death banal tofavor a technical reason. Falcao, based on “boys’ statements who are involvedin the drug dealing in a carioca favela, attempts to explore the face that societymakes an effort to keep obscure and unknown, the life and the reasons of theones who choose “for lack of options” the life in drug dealing, or, as they say,“the firm”.
