An epic tale of violence, retribution, and redemption and the rise and fall of the 80s mafia drug world, its a intertwining plot of two boys who grew up as hoodlums in the number one most dangerous city in South America, Rio De Janeiro's "Cidade De Deus".

Soon their lives begin to go down separate paths, one of them becoming a first time reporter turned news photographer and the other a ruthless and powerful gang leader, as we chronicle the two or three decades of their stories and the insanely hellish violent and costly gang war that defined it. the film also is poetic and presents a modern philosophical tale of the consequences of crime and the rewards of staying on the right track .
