One of my favourite movies. City of God is masterpiece out of Brazil. It documents gang life in the slums of Brazil and it's effect on the people living there. Why is it relevant for the class? Well. It demonstrates that life for displaced Africans is similar in most parts of the world. Their situations and lives are similar. Oppressed people behave in similar ways all over the world. It highlights the devastation and futility of gang life. It is a very powerful film and a must see.
