Review

This is an excellent short that will open your eyes to the horrible poverty of the Brazilian favelas, namely Cidade de Deus. The short is based on an excerpt from the book "God's City" and through the mischief of two little boys, shows the consequences of living in a favela. See it if you haven't already.
