City of God, directed by Fernando Meirelles, is a film set in Rio de Janeiro's violent favelas. Audiences can be absorbed in the vibrant and raw view of life inside gang culture. The structure of the movie and the excellent cinematography can encompass the chaos of youth brought into a cycle of crime, poverty, and violence. Authenticity in actual life-inspired performances, especially from young actors, gives weight to the story.
