Diego Zambrano

Diego had an idea to create a social critique about a big issue in Brazil: The Penitentiary System.

There were many rebellions going on in the prisons at the time, during which the police removed mobile phones and notebooks that crime-lords had been using from inside. Mobile phones + Notebooks = Internet.

Based on such fact, Diego created a prisoner's blog and fictional characters to convey stories of the prisoners and their harsh conditions inside the prison. It was a successful social critique denouncing the terrible things that were happening.

The Rio de Janeiro government filed a lawsuit against him because of the blog. He beat them in court securing freedom of speech for other blogs in Brazil.
