New Documentary Gives Insight About Brasil's Favelas.

LAHT/
The documentary, titled "Complexo-Universo Paralelo” (Complexo-Parallel Universe),was filmed by two Portuguese brothers, Mario and Pedro Patrocinio, who went into the most dangerous “favela” in Rio de Janeiro (Complexo do Alemao) and discovered a surprising “universe” of sensitivity and strength. Complexo do Alemao’s violent, dangerous reputation began with the slaying of Brazilian journalist Tim Lopes in 2002, when he was captured and cruelly tortured in reprisal for his investigative reporting of “funk” dances.
