Set between the 1960s and early 1980s, City of God follows Rocket (Buscapé), an aspiring photographer who grows up in the favela and documents the rise and fall of local gangs. The narrative is structured around several violent figures, notably the charismatic and ruthless Li’l Zé (Zé Pequeno) and his rival Bené (Bene). As Li’l Zé consolidates power through terror, the film traces how friendship, ambition, survival, and chance shape the lives of the community’s children and young adults. Rocket’s camera becomes both a shield and a moral witness, allowing him a path out of the favela even as violence escalates around him.
(Performances frequently feature local, first-time actors who bring authenticity to their portrayals. Alice Braga, who appears in a supporting role, later achieved international recognition.)
City of God was adapted by Braulio Mantovani from Paulo Lins’s semi-autobiographical novel. The production involved deep community engagement: many actors were recruited from the favelas, and the filmmakers worked to avoid exploitation while representing difficult subject matter. The film was produced on a relatively modest budget and achieved international success through strong festival play and critical acclaim.
