City of God
If you run, the beast catches you; if you stay, the beast eats you.
In the poverty-stricken favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, two young men choose different paths. Rocket is a budding photographer who documents the increasing drug-related violence of his neighborhood, while José “Zé” Pequeno is an ambitious drug dealer diving into a dangerous life of crime.

Based on a true story, "City of God" chronicles the life of a boy growing up in the slums of Rio in the midst of street gangsters. Many of the actors are children or teens, all of whom keep up their end of the acting. The experience is immersive, which makes it uncomfortable, since it is a world dominated by violence and murder. Nothing woke, but it is a tough watch.
