Brazilska gangsterska akcijska krimi drama redatelja i ko-scenarista Flavia Frederica. Riječ je o adaptaciji autobiografskoga romana Hiroito Joanides de Moraea, jednog od najzloglasnijih Brazilskih kriminalaca/gangstera. Kao što kažu i sami autori, ali i kritika, film je snimljen u maniri ponajboljih uradaka žanra, kao npr. The Godfather ili Mean Streets. Sam naslov filma se zapravo referira na zloglasni dio San Paula koji je 50-ih bio prepun noćnih striptiz klubova, barova, prostitucije i dilera. Budžet filma iznosi 2,3 milijuna $, a Brazilska premijera se održala prošle godine 02. listopada na Rio de Janeiro International Film Festivalu gdje je film pokupio i nekoliko nagrada. Britanska DVD premiera je zakazana za 30. siječnja 2012.

Following in the stylistic footsteps of Goodfellas and The Godfather, Boca is the true story of one of Brazil’s most ruthless mobsters, Hiroito Joanides. Accused of viciously murdering his father during his early years, Hiroito abandons his home for a life of crime in the underworld of Boca do Lixo.
Following the violent murder of his father, in which he was stabbed over forty times with a razor, Hiroito was arrested and accused of the crime, but ultimately not charged. However two months later, and aged just twenty-one, Hiroito bought two guns and moved to Boca do Lixo, fast becoming one of the most successful, dangerous and wanted criminals in Brazil. Boca charts his journey through the violence, the girls, the guns and the drugs as Hiroito becomes one of the most feared and legendary gangsters in Brazil.
