On October 12, 1994 — Children’s Day in Brazil — Ramires smoked his first crack rock. He was only 14 years old. He spent nearly half of his life going in and out of prison, committed and was the victim of countless acts of violence. From a very early age, he already felt different from other people, and fear has always been a faithful companion — one that still shows up to this day.
