Born in 1971, he channeled his operational background into Elite Squad, a film he co-wrote with sociologist Luiz Eduardo Soares and BOPE captain André Batista based on a non-fiction book the trio authored together. Beyond screenwriting, Pimentel participated in João Moreira Salles's documentary News From a Personal War, bringing firsthand testimony to Brazilian cinema's examination of urban conflict.
