Another passionate piece of Latin American filmmaking, which documents a tragic period in Rio's history and highlights the horrors of life in poverty-line communities. Technically a remarkable filmmaking achievement too.

I came away from this film impressed by its narrative control but unmoved by anything it had to say.
