Title: an electrifying view into the drug war in Rio de Janeiro
Product review: Living in Rio de Janeiro I'm already used to the daily news on shoot outs in the favelas of Rio. But this elegantly told and brilliantly shot movie based on the book of a writer who actually lives in "Cidade de Deus" -one of the over 600 favelas of Rio de Janeiro - was a wake up call for the middle and upper class who live in the nicer areas of Rio. It opened the eyes for a social problem which a lot of people tried so hard to ignore over decades. This film is not only a great piece of work but also a very important film for Brazilian society and so it should for societies around the world because this is as good as it gets.
