City Of God / City Of Men

"Two gritty tales of the unforgiving criminal underworld in Brazil are packaged together in this special set. Often hailed as one of the crowning achievements in cinema in the new millennium, Fernando Meirelles's 2002 /crime drama City of God details the growth of organized crime in Rio de Janeiro and its effect on the disenfranchised youth of the city. The massive international success of the film bred a television series spinoff, and a film encapsulating that series - City of Men, directed by Paulo Morelli, detailing a rival drug gang war and two 18 year old boys caught in the crossfire."
