Na Quebrada

Recomendo, não é uma produção Hollywoodiana, mas muito boa

Based on real events, the film follows the story of a group of young people from the lower class, such as Júnior, a television repair apprentice, Zeca, who witnessed a massacre, Joana, a girl who dreams of her unknown mother, and Gerson, whose father has been in prison since he was born. Amid stories of loss and violence, they discover a new way to express their ideas and emotions: cinema.

I have never heard of this movie before finding it by accident on IMDb, and i thought it would be a very good story,and it is so much more, its almost a documentary,this movie captures extremely well the hardships of those who are born in the favelas and have little to none chance of having a future. It shows poverty not in a condescending way,but in a human way as people who have dreams ,nightmares,people who make good and bad decisions as anyone else,but the consequences in this harsh environment are much different. Brilliant movie.

The movie itself is sort of in parts,it tells roughly the same story

or better , the same direction that life leads you,but from different points of views,and each person has different reactions and actions. Its based on real stories,and i guess thats why its so compelling and real.
