DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Fernando Meirelles Brazil

His film 'City of God' is a landmark portrayal of Rio's favelas and drug trafficking underworld through fragmented, visceral storytelling.

 Héctor Babenco Brazil

His films like 'Pixote' and 'Carandiru' offer unflinching examinations of Brazilian street children and prison systems caught in cycles of crime and survival.
