Summary:
Fernando Ramos da Silva gained worldwide recognition at the age of 11 when he starred in Héctor Babenco's film "Pixote, law of the strongest." A child from the São Paulo slums, da Silva was prevented from developing an acting career by his near-illiteracy and scarcity of roles. This film depicts the context of poverty and injustice that still controls the destiny of the "pixotes," the street children of Brazilian slums.
