Biography

Biographie tirée du site Evene :

« Lorsqu'elle découvre la favela à l'âge de 29 ans, Katia Lund décide de consacrer sa caméra à ses habitants. Engagée par Spike Lee en 1995 sur le tournage du vidéo-clip They Don't Care About Us de Michael Jackson, la jeune femme est littéralement bouleversée par la population qu'elle rencontre. Élevée au Brésil par des parents issus de la middle-class américaine, elle ignorait jusqu'alors la pauvreté qui règne dans les bidonvilles. Diplômée en art de l'école catholique Maria Imaculada et en cinéma de la Brow University, elle travaille longtemps en tant qu'assistante réalisatrice sur des projets musicaux et publicitaires.

In the opening scene, chickens are being prepared for a meal when a chicken escapes and an armed gang chases after it in a favela called the Cidade de Deus ("City of God"). The chicken stops between the gang and a young man named Rocket (Buscapé), who believes that the gang wants to kill him. A flashback traces Rocket, the narrator, back to the late 1960s. He lived incredibly poor in this slum of Rio.
