What City of God is about: the fight doesn’t stop
The series will tell the story of its characters, taking the work of the Buscapé photographer as a starting point. The plot takes place in the early 2000s and presents excerpts from the film in flashbacks, to reconstruct memories and emotional memories of the protagonists.
In the cast of the production, the public will be able to meet great actors who played renowned characters in the film: Alexandre Rodrigues, Thiago Martins, Roberta Rodrigues, Sabrina Rosa, Kiko Marques and Edson Oliveira. In addition to these, new names are part of the plot, such as Andréia Horta, Marcos Palmeira, Jefferson Brasil, Eli Ferreira, Luellem de Castro, Otávio Linhares, Rafael Lozano, Leandro Daniel, Luiz Bertazzo and new talents from communities in Rio de Janeiro such as Ciudad de Deus, Vidigal and Manguera.
In the film, the popular saying “if you run, the animal will catch you, if you stay, the animal will eat you” presented the City of God as an insoluble place. In the series, the community plagued by disputes between drug traffickers, police and militiamen provides a perspective of collective resistance, focusing on the lives of its inhabitants.
