Film Description
Features City of God (Meirelles & Lund, 2002) and City of Men (Paolo Morelli, 2007).
City of God:Perhaps the most exhilirating film of 2002, and one which takes street crime in the shantytowns of Rio as its subject. The slum is the battleground between rival gangs and corrupt cops. It's a story served up with passion and energy but which is also full of social and political insights.
City of Men: In this long awaited follow up to his Academy Award nominated film City Of God, producer Fernando Meirelles returns to the Brazilian Favelas to tell an inspiring tale of friendship and family on the gritty streets of Rio de Janeiro. Growing up in a culture dictated by violence and run by street gangs, teenagers Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha (Darlan Cunha) have become close as brothers. With their eighteenth birthdays fast approaching, Laranjinha sets out to find the father he never met, while Acerola struggles to raise his own young son. But when they suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of a gang war, the lifelong friends are forced to confront a shocking secret from their shared past.
