Inside the Mind of Favela Funk plot

"A documentary about the current Brazilian underground music in the lives of the favela youth"

The filmmakers went to the favelas - the slums of the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro - to interview artists (male and female) and boys and girls about the controversial putaria funk. Their candid answers expose the relationships and tell a lot about these underprivileged neighborhoods, where people grow up in poverty, close to drug violence and death. In between the interviews, the camera films typical crawl-through-sneak-through streets and the dark living quarters that visually emphasize the young people's stories about their hard lives.
