[ Edit this paragraph] Synopsis

The protagonist in The City of God is not a person, but a place. The City of God was a slum in Brazil in the 196s. Since the 198s, it has become the most dangerous place in Rio de Janeiro.

Many people's stories are told in the film, but everything is told to us through the eyes of a child: Busca, a black child born in a poor family, is weak and afraid of becoming a criminal, and is content with a low-paid job.

The environment in which he lives is full of violence, and he has no chance to escape. However, his way of observing and exploring society is different from others. He has his own unique views on reality: because he has the eyes of an artist who is good at exploring life. Finally, he became a professional photographer. This may be his salvation ...

Busca is not the real film.
