Killer Ratings plot
Wallace Souza hosted Canal Livre, a program that ran for ten years on TV Rio Negro in Manaus, Brazil. The success of his program — which specialized in uncovering and investigating murders, kidnappings and anti-smuggling operations — made Wallace Souza very popular. Ultimately, this led to his being elected as a congressman in Amazonas state. In 2009, police opened an investigation against Souza over charges of incitement to murder to boost the ratings of his program.
