G. C. Viegas explains the methodology behind ‘Fronteira do Medo’, based on a large number of interviews with residents and police officers, requests for access to government documents, analysis of public databases, the examination of hundreds of court cases, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) strategies.

From aesthetics to technique, from recording to production, he asks: what is the role of music in journalism?
