Preferably along the lines of "City of God" but im open to suggestions.

Looking in particular for good footage of Rio or anyother coastal Brazilian town/city.
Of couse added brazilian music will be a bonus

Thanks in advance!
Ronan

    For a less fictionalized image of Brazil. Here's a couple of documentaries I like.

    Edificio MASTER


    WASTELAND


    Favela on blast


    Here's a couple more I just like:

    Pixote


    Black god white devil


    Onibus 174
