Cast: Carlos Belo Da Silva, Pablo Paulinho and José Ricardo Ramos
Shot in Cantagalo and Rocinha, two impoverished areas of Rio de Janiero, this documentary opens you to lank stuff. Rocinha – population 250,000 - is the biggest slum (Favela) in Rio. Instead of evangalising and lecturing, the film sensitively portrays the small things by a group of surfers who bodily pull the youth of their community from a dark-scoured underworld of degradation and hopelessness. Surfing: the foaming bridge to freedom of spirit.
