Summary:
"Welcome to the world's most notorious slum, Rio de Janeiro's 'City of God.' A place where combat photographers fear to tread, where police rarely go, and residnets are lucky if they live to the age of 20. This is the true story of a young man who grew up on these streets and whose ambition as a photographer is our window in and ultimately may be his only way out"--Container.
