The true story behind one of the world's most notorious slums outside of Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. The movie focuses on the history and story of the slum as well as a boy growing up there trying to find his way out through work. Entirely in Portuguese but don't let the thought of subtitles turn you away from this film. I read that all but a slight few of the actors in this film had never acted before and were actually residents of the slum or from a nearby town. I usually disagree with most movie critics but I believe Roger Ebert got it right when he said "One of the best films you'll ever see." Anyone seen it?
