SYNOPSIS: Welcome to the world’s most notorious slum: Rio de Janeiro’s ‘City of God’. A place where combat photographers fear to tread, where police rarely go, and residents are lucky if they live to the age of 20. This is a true story of a young man who grew up on these streets and whose ambition as a photographer is our window in and ultimately may be his only way out. -Miramax
