Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer. A sobering look at life inside a very dangerous part of a sometimes magical city, CITY OF GOD brought global attention to the realities of poverty, violence and social inequality in Brazil through its innovative storytelling, energetic filmmaking and powerful portrayal of life in Rio’s favelas. In Portuguese w/ subtitles.
