Explosive, highly acclaimed look at the denizens of a Rio de Janeiro housing project, tracing their lives from the building's opening in the 1960s, when youthful gangs committed small robberies in and around the building, through the 1980s, in which two ruthless gangs vied for control of the city's criminal activities. The events are recounted by a photographer who escaped the violent fate of his peers. With Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino, Douglas Silva. 129 min.
