Highly recommended.
It depicts the growth of organized crime in the Cidade de Deus suburb of Rio de Janeiro, between the end of the '60s and the beginning of the '80s, with the closure of the film depicting the war between the drug dealer Li'l Zé and criminal Knockout Ned. The tagline is "Fight and you'll never survive... Run and you'll never escape."

Heck, there was less violence in the entire era of the Old West (1865-1890) than there is weekly in a typical American city today.

A few years ago I took a day trip tour of a national park very close to Rio.As we were climbing one of the hills of the park we could clearly see,in the distance,one of the big hillside slums (called “favelas”) of Rio itself.The guide told us that those favelas are so violent and dangerous that the Brazilian *Army* doesn’t dare enter them during *daylight* hours.
