CITY OF GOD: 10 YEARS LATER

City

In 2002 Fernando Meirelles' City of God film premiered to international acclaim. The stunning, often violent, and beautifully shot portrayal of life in the favelas of Rio, Brazil made instant stars out of the local cast. The following is a trailer from a soon-to-be-released documentary about what's happened to the cast since. Some have gone on to bigger and better things on account of the publicity, others not so much. So much social commentary on this one. Life imitating art?
