City of God

This film takes place on the streets of one of the world's most notorious slums: Rio de Janeiro's City of God. It's a place where if you fight you'll never survive, if you run you'll never escape. Residents are lucky if they live to the age of 20. This is the true story of a young man who grew up on these streets and whose ambition to be a photographer is our window into this world and ultimately his way out. A critical and financial success when originally released, CITY OF GOD has lost none of its power over 20 years later.
