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)

While not my type of film, City of God seems like a very realistic look into the slums of Rio. It helps that it wraps itself up very nicely by the end. You just have to put up with characters like Li’l Zé until then.
