Em Busca de um Lugar Comum
2012 · 80 min · ★ 5.0 · Documentary
Rio de Janeiro, 2011. Announced worldwide as the main stage for Brazilian social ills, Rio's favelas are, paradoxically, among the most seductive postcards in Rio de Janeiro. Immersed in the tours through Favela da Rocinha, the documentary investigates the desires and images involved in the construction of this disputed tourist destination. A market that, attentive to the demands, does not cease to project its new attractions.
