This week we're screening: Favela Rising
This is one of my favourite films and the lead protagonist Anderson Sà is one of my heroes. After watching this film I think he'll be one of yours too.

And the main feature from 7pm:
Favela Rising (1 hr 20 mins) 2005 In Rio de Janeiro, a former drug dealer and a community activist use Afro-reggae music to transform a slum.
Favela Rising is an explosive and inspirational documentary about Rio de Janeiro's most violent favela (shantytown) and the revolutionary vision of a man who against all odds rises to enhance his community. Haunted by the murders of his family and friends, Anderson Sà is a former drug-trafficker who turns revolutionary in Rio de Janeiro's most feared slum. Through hip-hop music, the rhythms of the street, and Afro-Brazilian dance he rallies his community to war against the violent oppression enforced by teenage drug armies and sustained by corrupt police.
