“FAVELA RISING documents a man and a movement, a city divided and a favela (Brazilian squatter settlement) united.

Through hip-hop music, the rhythms of the street, and Afro-Brazilian dance he rallies his community to counteract the violent oppression enforced by teenage drug armies and sustained by corrupt police.”
