🇧🇷 CITY OF GOD - Most Notorious Favela in Brazil (Part I)

The Cidade de Deus (City of God) is a West Zone neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. It is also known as CDD among its inhabitants and is widely known as one of the most dangerous favelas in Brazil.

Favelas (Portuguese for ‘slum’ or ‘shanty town’) are urban neighbourhoods of high density informal or unplanned housing. They exist in all major Brazilian cities, range in size from a few blocks to large sprawling areas, and can border areas frequented by tourists and visitors.

Violence in Rio de Janeiro favelas increased in 2017. Armed clashes and shootouts between police forces and gangs are a regular and unpredictable occurrence. Armed clashes have also occurred on major thoroughfares, including the main highway to and from the international airport in Rio de Janeiro which runs alongside a large favela.

There is a high risk of violence spilling over into nearby areas, including those popular with tourists. There have been injuries and deaths as a result of stray bullets in and near favelas.

Please do not enter or visit Cidade de Deus (City of God) without a local resident and even then it is still very dangerous. Guns, drugs and gang activity is everywhere in this Favela and I walked past much of it on this tour.

I have over 3.5 hours of footage and interviews so I will be breaking the content into smaller bite sized episodes.
