Opening clip from the 2005 film "Favela Rising," which documents the rise of the Afro Reggae movement in the notorious slums(favelas) of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. If you don't believe music can be a force for social change, this film will change your mind.

No job would pay as much as they can earn dealing drugs, you idiot. The only solution is one that will never happen, the legalization of drugs so the druglords lose their jobs.

people like you piss me off, until you have been there and experienced there quality of life you cant say a single fuckin thing, 10 dollars of ur filthy cash would buy them a house, but u dont realise with the clothes and food that you throw away that would be like christmas for them, also about the jobs, they would kill for an education and i can assure you they are alot more ambitious than you or me, they fight to survive day to day while u sit in a house with heating and food.

Favelas are caused by financial & educational inequalities.

I love Brazil and Brazilian people, but unfortunately the country has some reality that are very depressing and degradating.It's not fault of mother nature that there are favelas in Brazil. I't society fault.Problem that have a human cause can only be solved by humans, if they the good will to do it. Anything less than that it's just a cope out.
