City of God

September 17, 2009

6 p.m.

Student Center Auditorium

This shocking film shows the unbelievable poverty, greed, danger and crime in the "Cidade de Deus," a housing project started in the 60’s that became one of the most dangerous places in Rio de Janeiro. Busca-Pe is a poor black child who takes the eye of an artist to his horrific surroundings. He eventually becomes a professional photographer where he attempts to capture the humanity of a seemingly inhumane existence.
