FAVELA RISING documents a man and a movement, a city divided and a favela (Brazilian squatter settlement) united. Haunted by the murders of his family and many of his friends, Anderson Sá is a former drug-trafficker who turns social revolutionary in Rio de Janeiro’s most feared slum. Through hip-hop music, the rhythms of the street, and Afro-Brazilian dance he rallies his community to counteract the violent oppression enforced by teenage drug armies and sustained by corrupt police.

At the dawn of liberation, just as collective mobility is overcoming all odds and Anderson’s grassroots Afro Reggae movement is at the height of its success, a tragic accident threatens to silence the movement forever.

In the late 1990′s a group of kids from a Rio de Janeiro favela (shantytown) embarked on an ambitious and imaginative project in an attempt to stay out of trouble. Almost a decade later, the result is an intricate scale model of their favela constructed of broken bricks and inhabited by hundreds of LEGO figures which was featured in the Fifty-Second Venice Biennale. The film captures over eight years of changes in their lives, their neighborhood, and their travels, creating a stirring glimpse of the transformative power of art.

Around five hundred kilometres north of Rio De Janeiro, deep within the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, is a most remarkable place. Ouro Preto was discovered at the end of the seventeenth century by Portuguese gold prospectors. They found black gold which changed colour due to its iron content. Thus a prosperous gold town was born with fascinating Baroque and rococo architecture that has survived right up to the present day.The region’s substantial mineral resources helped to create numerous magnificent buildings such as the Igreja De S�o Francisco De Assis that was completed by the Franciscan Order in 1820. It is one of the most impressive Baroque churches in Latin America.Cleverly, and rather than pay excessive taxes to the Portuguese crown, the town’s colonials successfully hid much of their gold in the artwork of Ouro Preto’s sacred buildings. Thus the treasures created by human hand live on and are now the fabulous legacy of a truly golden past!

The real ‘City of God’. Vila Cruzeiro is one of the most violent slum areas in Rio de Janeiro, at times a no-go area for the police where the drug gangs rule. But the favela does have its own unique beauty, and in this simply shot but hugely affecting documentary four young people show us their lives and speak about their dreams. They did everything themselves: from operating the camera to interviewing each other to deciding what makes the final cut. 22 year-old Diogo wants to be an actor; 16 year-old Mayra dreams of being a history student; 17 year-old Luis longs to be a ballet dancer; while Dudu, 25, is a father of two, an ex-child-soldier for one of the drug-trafficking commandos. Mayra Avellar, who features in this film and helped create it, has been awarded the 4th International Children’s Peace Prize for her courageous work attempting to counter the violence of Vila Cruzeiro and stand up for the rights of children and young people.
