City of God

Two young people living in Rio's vibrant favelas take distinct routes, with one pursuing a passion for photography and capturing life's beauty, while the other is drawn to a life of crime and power.

In 1960s Brazil, a group of young thieves, the Tender Trio, rob motels and gas trucks, with younger kids learning from them. By the 1970s, Li'l Zé has gained power and controls the city, using violence and fear to eliminate rival gangs. His friend Bené is the only one who can keep him grounded. Meanwhile, Rocket, who wants to be a photographer, gets caught up in the chaos.
