A true story from the 60's follows the tales of two young boy's (and other characters) from Brazil's notorious Rio who take on different paths in life and deal with their struggles differently. The story is narrated through Buscape, son of a fisherman with the dream of one day becoming a photographer. He captures the brutality and violence of his world largely through the rise and fall of one of the biggest and most corrupt bosses of the slums 'Lil Ze' and the shockingly devastating effects of his power in the slums.
-A true thriller largely focused on crime, however this is not the main focus of the film.
-Uses camera angles to place emphasis on characters reactions and emotions.
-Powerfully emotional drama, toys with audiences emotions.
-Interlinked plot, where narrator explains background story of significant characters in the film.
-Protagonist has a strength (photography) which is his passion. This assists him in his survival in the slums of Rio and allows him to make it out of the infamous Ghettto.
