5x Favela, Agora por Nós Mesmos plot
"Freedom is not enough for democracy exist, is also necessary opportunity."
After attending workshops and masterclasses from leading directors, some of the 200 young people from the slums of Rio de Janeiro were selected to jointly create a feature film. This film consists of five stories that highlight various aspects of the daily lives of residents of these communities, with a commitment to avoid stereotypes. The stories explore themes such as ethics and education, friendship and love, solidarity and tolerance, family and society, and do this without ignoring the violence and daily challenges.
