Welcome to the world's most notorious slum: Rio de Janeiro's 'City of God.' A place where combat photographers fear to tread, where Police rarely go, and residents are lucky if they live to the age of 20. This is the true story of a young man who grew up on these streets and whose ambition as a photographer is our window in and ultimately may be his only way out. [Original Release 2002] (Miramax)

Harrowing, startlingly confident directorial effort from Meirelles/Lund hits the ground running from the first scene and never lets up; while its tale of street kids being corrupted into gang life is certainly familiar, the style makes you feel like you're watching this for the first time, along with pitch-perfect, naturalistic performances from its cast of unknowns. Final shot is a chilling reminder of the cyclical nature of this at times exhilarating, but ultimately bleak view of life.
