Woh, the chicken ran away, get that chicken, dude!
2002 subtitles. Based on a true story.
Set in the slums of Rio de Janeiro between the 60's and 80's. The story teller is Rocket, unavoidably connected to the gangs, but wanting to take the right path. He is clever and goes to school while it seems everyone else around him isn't and doesn't.
There are several stories of the different charcters that all weave together brilliantly. I don't want to give too much away, but there are lots of guns, drugs, murder, revenge, robbery and love.
A slice of real life in Brazil for those not fortunate enough to live the american dream.
Awesome 8.5/10
