Greetings, film lovers. Living in Boa Vista, Roraima, I became interested in Brazilian cinema and, when looking for something to watch, I decided on the iconic film City of God (Cidade de Deus).

This movie is great because the story is happening in Rio de Janeiro's suburbs and tells a powerful story by a young kid who struggles in that world to become a photographer. The movie is unique and very different then the rest of the movies, besides that…More
