City of God

Brazil 2002 | 131 minutes | Portuguese | Hebrew subtitles

The nickname "City of God" refers to a favela in Rio de Janeiro, a maze of narrow alleys and crumbling houses. Based on an epic novel by Paolo Lins, the film spans the 60s to the 80s, following the harsh coming-of-age of children who never truly experienced childhood.
