City of God (2002)
The City of God (Cidade de Deus) is a slum located outside of Rio de Janeiro where violence and corruption rules the streets. The story follows Rocket as he grows up in the dangerous environment living day by day. I can only assume this film is based somewhat on real life. Unless you speak Portuguese, you'll have to read subtitles but it didn't really deter me from liking this movie. Over all, the movie is directed beautifully and really sucks you in. If you don't mind subtitles I would check this one out.
3 stars out of 5
