- Favela Wars (2003): The violence spilling out of Brazil's slums or 'favelas' has made the country's two major cities more dangerous than most war zones.

Children in Rio de Janeiro are eight times more likely to die violently than those in the West Bank. "They live on a kill or be killed basis," states anthropologist Luke Dowdney, who has spent five years studying the favelas. "If they don't kill someone when they're told to, they will be killed." The favelas have become no-go zones for the police. "We are always well armed, waiting for them," boasts 18 year old JN, gang leader in the infamous 'City of God'. He became a drugs trafficker at 10 and has been responsible for the deaths of numerous people. However, there is hope that President Lula will be able to halt the violence.

ABC Australia - Ref. 1666
the italian mafia sounds like a joke to south american gangs
Well some have no choice but to sell drugs to feed the family like those "angry savages"
Yes, they can't afford a familly they should just die alone and no sons or daughters, no sex for any of you poor slum people.
+Mustang Rider The Italian mafia is so overated lol, you have no idea what you're talking about. You watch too many movies
Great info? What are your sources? Godfather, Goodfellas and a few documentaries?
***** You dont see it, but trust me... It damn well happens.. Its a criminal organization.. And thenceforth will do beyond hyannis things to stay afloat.
I'm a Jamaican-American living in the US i love Brazilian people, in fact I see alot of similarities with the people in the Jamaican Kingston ghettos and the favelas of Brazil.....this us a awesome documentary.
super blue Poverty like crazy.Like any other country, Brazil has terrible places and beautiful places.
Groovy Benny and Lil Zè were running the Flavelas
City of God
Kkkkkkkk Lil Ze caralhoooo seu nome agora e Ze Pequeno porra
Vin Diesel: This is not america, this is BRAZIL!!
+SandMan89 this needs way more likes
+SandMan89 btw, BRASIL*
But brazil is america
Valério Valério it's the America no one wants to go to
Rafe Rafe Theres Homeless in the Slums of Los Angeles...The Americans dont show This in Tv....Prefer to Hide!!! We show the real to the world!!!
I was just down in Sao Paulo's Favela's for 3 months. It was the most humbling experience I've had in my entire life.
What did you do there ?
I'm a soon to be senior in college studying Antrhopology, and I find these videos exceptionally helpful for understanding cultural anthro and globilization. Thank-you for posting these videos.
The favela is a good Business for politicians
How
@@tyetheknot1227 mainly cause of votes. But they can look good with The rest of The population if they do a good job At pretending like they about what happens inside of favelas, like cohibiting crime and making social work (which they almost never do for real). Funny how if its a crime in a Rich neighborhood done by rich people its never fought with violence and bullets, but with investigations and warrants.
It's scary that most of these people shown are probably dead now
I'm an American living in Brasil. It always pains me to hear Brasilians that are rich or well off make a comment about how Brasil isn't dangerous and how embarrassed they are that videos like this are being made and making Brasil look bad. These are the people who don't live in the favelas, who don't experience favela life, people that will never know what it is to be black and poor in the slums of Brasil or know the fear of living with violence everyday. THIS IS REAL. THIS IS LIFE IN BRASIL.
That's what you get when chaotic populational growth(mainly through immigration towards the richest cities),lack of any sort of governmental planning during decades(probably centuries),huge and disgraceful regional inequalities and a very inefficient and we could say murderous policy of "war to drugs" are mixed up in a single country.
Rodrigo Barreto as well as the poor having multiple children
@@paulieheydrich9772 bullshit no such thing. Children are not the issue here!!
I'm brazilian and I'm spending one year at New Zealand, but I miss Brazil sooo much! I'm from fortaleza and just can't wait to get there! Love NZ tho... Brazil is not only this... The best of our country covers all this shit...
I am Brazilian and I feel anger and sadness seeing tourists saying that Brazil is a horrible place and things like that ... there is no perfect country in the world, and almost all of you only see the worst side of Brazil, which is not the only
One of the most amazing things I saw was when I lived in the favela de Paraisopolis. Pode ver os predios dos ricos em cima do morro. The poor live in a hole in the ground and the rich have skyscrappers with pools and electric fences right above the slum! Brasil is a country of contrasts more than anything.
I mean most indigenous genocides happened right there in south America. You can see it in the united states. When a country is founded on genocide there is no way of getting around it's present material realities, which is looks like widespread inequality.
the Best map in MW2
@journeyman How do I submit some of my work?
Para os portugueses e brasileiros que estão a criticar o Brasil, gostaria de convidá-los a conhecer o interior do Estado de São Paulo, por exemplo, o lugar mais rico do país. Belas cidades de médio e pequeno porte que ainda não sofrem com os problemas das grandes metrópoles, agricultura forte, indústrias, boas rodovias, belezas naturais, qualidade de vida.
i used to live here( rio de janero) right next to favela and have spent years going there for long periods. the guns smuggled in from neighboring country's are easily excusable not to mention the corruption by police and government officials it is a hard country to live in and not cheap so people resort to robbing or joing a gang (drug dealing) to sustain a life style i hope to see a change one day but until the corruption stops there will be no Change
Brasil, eh lindo demais... aqui tem corrupção e violencia como em todo lugar! Ao contrario dos paises a fora, nós acolhemos, independente de sua nacionalidade! Indenpendente de seu humor, sempre teremos alegrias, samba e muita cevada! Somos sofredores, como todo mundo, mas a diferença é que sabemos nos dar com tudo isso!!!
Jean Charles... Sempre lembrado!!! Ainda esperamos por justiça!!!
@theokaye1996 what's your opinion on movies like Tropa de elite and Cidade de deus, are they not portraying a honest picture of the situation?
There are places in the world that are more violent, corrupt and poor but Brazil is so often targeted because it has the resources to do SO much better. These other places often don't. Brazil has everything going for it: natural resources, size, a suitably sized population. The rich culture and natural beauty make it extra special.
Dude, where's my subtitles?
So much racism on this page, it is very sad :(
@Anton EightBall Oh fuck off already
what type of music is that on 12.00 what artist or similar thanks
I recently visited Rio and it's a land where, indeed there is poverty and violence like any country but, the Rio's landscapes and friendly people is what makes everything special.
To back your opinions until you really know the place is the best thing to do.
I have spent considerable time in Rio de Janeiro and I was able to walk the streets with little worry of violence and theft. I was very comfortable being there. Even in the favelas.
I LOVE RIO!
I agree. the money for these social programs should be going back into the billionaires pockets
I pray for all Brazilians. No work. what else can they do???
Fk n make more kids . Then all them people can migrate to somewhere else and be poor over there
@@JimmyRnj It's a bit hard to do that when that's all they've grown up around. You say that from an outsiders perspective. Sure you me and a lot of other people would like to see MAJOR reform in Brazil but it can't start unless the cycle stops and it's not all their kids are being exposed to. Some of them don't even know that there's another way to life than just mindlessly killing people and dealing drugs
_A Harshful Life !_
And now in 2022 Silva is back!!!
There needs to be better translation please. Thank you for this eye-opening video.
Brasil o melhor
legalize drugs-half the problems in south america would be solved
Yeah legalize murder too that way murder rate will go down..
+marcellin20a Oh but legalizing the drugs won't make the drug dealers drop their guns my friend, imagine how they will react if the government destroy their business... I can see the arms trafficking increasing in Brazil because they won't go down without a war buddy, this is not a first-world country we are talking about...
Yeah it would partly help, but the biggest problem in South America is corruption, politicians are the biggest criminals in South America.
yea less killings, more brain-less youth. there is no winning. i say destroy all drugs period
marcellin20a clueless more like the whole world y o ur a sheep stfu
What is the song that starts at 11:58 ?
I also am Brazilian and my country is not like all of you think.
here is how the U.S.
has crime, drugs, slums
but also have beautiful cities where we live well.
i am brazilian
Good luck brotha
You want to reduce the violence then reduce police and government corruption and eliminate the drug fields and exports and imports.
Or reduce the population of unproductive people. They will never stop being violent its I'm their genes
tristan slaughter violence is not genetic to poor people you idiot, being poor is not a genetic condition
Historically, the elite have been the most violent sooooo....
Or just legalise all drugs
won't get rid of the problem. there will still be theft and murder for drugs
very interesting video... judging by some of the comments not sure how representative of the country it is. Would have been nice if there were subtitles when ppl were talking in portugese cos half the story was missed.
i just wish for my brothers and sisters from brasil the peace they need...Deseo que la violencia y corrupcion desaparezca para que ese pais maravilloso y rico pueda surgir y salir adelante...miles de bendiciones y ruego para que la violencia termine y asi los niños puedan a llegar a ser hombres de bien sin tener que temer por sus vidas...que dios los bendiga
old docu
But same problem at all
cant wait to visit. 2014 brazil world cup here we come.
Don't, police failed miserably to reduce violence.
You are very likely to get robbed, and if you're unlucky, shot or stabbed in the process.
he was being sarcastic if you can't tell lol
Which song is at 12.10?
@theokaye1996
i loved ure comment, since i come from bosnia and the same shit during our war happend over there, whole bunch of all sorts of foreigners coming shoting documentaries about us, in all possible ways they could really think of, so it sounded very familiar to me. however, id love to find out a bit more about ure country, espeically favels- do u know any good objective documentary you could recommend me,please? :)
Legalize drugs, take out the profit element & give people real info about the dangers.
Abolish all debts, socialize natural wealth to finance ecological selfreliance.
Show people how to take care of themselves, housing, food, farming etc.
Open up hospitals and make all knowledge available for the public.
Deny all centralized government without direct democracy, localize economies, dissolve borders and abolish armies. Police should obey a constitution and be chosen by the people.
Freedom.

I suppose you want everyone to be given a unicorn too
ANGOLA AND BRAZIL WHERE U FIND THE REAL GANGSTERS.
+Mustang Rider LOOOOOOL DID I SAY I AM PROUD OF THAT? I SIMPLY SAID ANGOLA AND BRAZIL WHERE YOU FIND THE REAL GANGSTERS, NOW PLEASE WHERE DID I SAY I AM PROUD? LOOOL, STOP TAKING DRUGS LITTLE BOY
+afri kka loooooool boih
no. causcoids are the real gangsters
@Dj1LL There are plugins for firefox to block youtube adds, you know...
There is when they speak Portug. There are also closed captions. By clicking that cc button on the bottom of the video.
A grand multicultural empire
I know a lot of countries have a lot of horrible shit going on because of multiculturalism, but Brazils favela gang issues barely have any relation to it, because most of these thugs are multiracial and there is a lack of race related issues in Brazil.
This has nothing to do with multiculturalism. This has a lot to do with sistemic racism and structural marginalizing of The poor though. Favelas wouldnt even exist if The cortiços (poor small collective housing) inside The traditional neighborhoods werent Destroyed in The beginning of The 20th century. But of course, a racist like you would never know anything like that, and if He did, He would pretend He doesnt.
Max Payne 3 brought me here oh yeah! :)
Haha! Same, been watching docs about Favela's while playing.. I fucking love Max Payne.. It still, to this day has the best bullet physics in any game.. Period. Criminally underrated.
tootsie|troll® favela in mad Payne is not samething of real favelas
Hey Daniel...
The only other media representation I am familiar that shows a similar hill side organic ghetto environment is the 2008 Incredible Hulk movie with Edward Norton! Those beautiful roving hillside shots showing endless vistas of organic architecture growing like an organism in parallel with the humanity dwelling there interactively sustaining wherever needed...
Those shots were pretty sublime! Was watching another documentary showing some of it's inhabitants who were creative and cleaned endless hillsides of garbage transforming the hillside into steps of Beautiful gardens using that same trash for the garden's supporting structure. All done within self governed communities that had to be inventive and self reliant. Not to be dismissive of the violent sad areas but I thought it was nice to show that reality is not all so easily demonized where humanity is concerned.
Conversely,
My violent side appreciated the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 maps That took it's Brazilian Favela inspiration and created fun maps from the complexity and chaos of such an organic hillside environment.
Easily my favorite parts of the campaign from that game! I was wondering if they might have honestly captured the feel of such environments?
theUglyManowar Damn, your 1st paragraph was very well put.. Im also a fan of the anarchy of it.. (The buildings and such that is..) Theres some pretty good Docs here on youtube.. I could link you a few if you want? I got into Favelas a shitload while Playing Max Payne 3
theUglyManowar I think Max Payne got the look of it the best.. And MW2, got the chaotic feel of the maze that would be trekking through that place. (This coming from an American in IA.. Who knows.. I would love an actual person from one tell us what they would think?)
@wikiwikidrumbass NZ is that small island rulled by Australians right?
I would never trust what a British journalist says about Brazil especiallly where there are guns and drugs involved.
Their ignorance is only matched by their arrogance , as if they even know what it is like !
The colonial Portuguese should have sent the blacks back to Africa after Slavery ended and imported huge numbers of Germans, Scandinavians, Frenchmen, Poles, Dutch, Irish, Czechs, Russians etc.. as well as more Japanese, Koreans and even Chinese. Yah, I know Germans and Japanese came to Brazil but not enough. If that would have happened, Brazil would have been a fully developed nation. Maybe a bit boring but fully developed. It would have even been a rival to the USA in power.
Sohan Deshpande Also there should have been some years of British rule and Anglo Saxon government system like in Australia or New Zealand or Singapore or Hong Kong. British ruled countries with White and East Asian populations have been super sucess stories. That is the recipe for sucess for a nation.
Lol
I agree, White people should stop using drugs, that would solve a lot of problems for themselves and others.
Sohan Deshpande Racist bitch! How is it OUR fault when Europeans are the ones in control of the government? Gtfoh with that bullshit.
Bria Pate the phrase "don't waste your breath" springs to mind here
7:47 olha só quem ta aqui o bandidao
At 15:00 the translation is off. He says "before my mother cries, their mothers cry first."
Thanks it didn't make sense
Seven Years ago and the violence don't stoping!
B-L-A-C-K-S ...
Oh fuck off! So sick of you racist bastards
Should have said. Non whites
Piece of shit
10 years later and Brazil is still in a limbo
the comments in this thread are sheer genius! I've been reading them for 30 minutes and laughing my head off, really great stuff
5:26 "since 1978 more people has died in Rio than in the civil conflict in Colombia". That's some serious statistic, considering Colombia's conflict goes back decades. I looked it up and that statement is accurate, specially since Colombia's civil conflict is finished and Rio's murder's statistics continues to rise.
I'm glad that I speak both languages. I can't image people that don't understand Portuguese watching this whole video because they just "forgot" to translate most of the video.
@joikeas what did u saw there ???
i went into that vervella in 2003 it was gnarly payd an armed guard for protection , its sad the amount of kids i saw on the streets was so hard to see
whats that guy's name on 14:49????
Have you guys considered subtitles?
@ITOBGI
BR: IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística):
- 33,5% dos domicílios contam com o serviço fornecimento de água
- Volume de água distribuída sem tratamento (não potável) sobe 191,3%
- 52,2% dos municípios colectam esgoto
PT: IA (Instituto da Água) e IR (Instituto dos Resíduos):
- 95 % da população com sistemas de abastecimento de água (potável)
- 80% com sistemas de saneamento de águas residuais (em 2010 vai se estender a 90%)
@Entigledi Velho, nao esta dando pra entender nada do que voce ta tentando falar em ingles.
Then, all of a sudden, a guy with a red t-shirt comes running towards you with a UMP45, knifing you from a questionable range.
Anyone know that song?
"Enquanto houver gente a comprar vai haver gente a vender..."
@1:38.
West coast of South America??
what was he saying at 2:49?
I'll land in Rio in 3 days (1st time in Brazil), so it's interesting and better to be warned,
BUT this video, though informative even if not that recent, is frustrating because you don't translate what is being said in Portuguese : neither by subtitles (which I prefer), nor by voice-off. So, I missed a large part unfortunately as I have not yet had the chance to practice the few Portuguese that I've been learning these last days !
@igorbr03 I've had a chance to go to Brazil...I'm one of the folks that see beauty where most dont and Brazil like Africa is an awsome place to experience...Question for you...how do you think the Govt will handle the crime situation with the Cup and Olympics coming soon...??
Sou português e tenho de dizer que o Brasil é uma cidade linda pelo que me dá a parecer (pois infelizmente nunca lá fui). Sou branco e não sou racista, mas a verdade é que corrupção e morte existe em muitos lugares, e apesar do que dizem do Brasil, eles são capazes de ser dos poucos que acolhem os estrangeiros com muita alegria e boa disposição e é isso que os torna conhecidos mundialmente. Favelas são a parte oculta do país, mas quando se conhece a cidade, acredito que seja algo lindo de se ver
e Portugal é uma linda vila também! o condado Lisboa me faz sentir em casa... sempre muito a vontade quando por la!
Esse comportamento o brasileiro só possuí com estrangeiros. É a típica mentalidade do povo da colônia que enxerga o colonizador como Deus. Nesse caso, os Europeus e as vezes, os norte americanos.

Anyone know the song at 12:11
Thank you for informative, I feel that Brazil is growing in the correct direction forward. So much so, we are presently building in Curitiba, PR. If you dont show these videos...The world media will give a negative view of the whole country, Now that the Olympics are coming.
I am brazilian, but I don`t live in Rio de Janeiro. these things happen there and in Sao Paulo, but in Rio de Janeiro happen more than Sao Paulo. But the rest of the country is very good. Brazil is a very beautiful country, you need to know.
some people say that my country is violent, but never even been robbed.
I am Brazilian and Brazil with pride the world's best place to live here has much less hurricane and earthquake do not live in Rio de Janeiro live in another state that is completely respectful represented in this video there and so I'm inviting you guys to meet Brazil and finally Brazil has nothing to do with africa as the comments are saying
@papanzinga I reckon, where's the translation?
@Cachicochip whats it called homi
Agreed. When you have that many people in poverty there will always be someone else to take over once all the "bad guys" are killed. Treating the symptoms and not the root cause will not solve the problem.
where are the subtitles?
Ever been there ? I was there last year and didn't see anything that you are describing. I've been to "Complexo do Alemao"... and visited the peoples homes and talked to them. Their living conditions are disheartening.
I don't live in Rio but i'm brazilian and i hope someday the people can live in peace no only in here in Brazil but anywhere around the world. and please stop hating and judging people you don't know.
australian reporters, can you please put subtitles on?
I am Brazilian, and I think that the other brazilians should stop arguing with americans or what ever, and start to argue with the government so they can make a move into changing this. It's a shame for a country like Brazil to still keep favelas like in RIO, I know it's hard, but they gotta start changing, otherwise they'll never end. Other cities like Belo Horizonte have a program to eliminate all favelas within 10 years, and it's working, we can see the new homes for the people.
Ive heard that Brazil has like the 10th largest economy in the world, and it has loads of potential to grow. But, with these "isolated" problems like the favelas, it will be hard for Brazil to reach the "developed country" status.
Hey, all foreign people that are posting here.
You may think Brazil is a country for criminals, that Brazil is a country for drugs, but it is NOT.
As you can see, we have lots of Brazilians here talking in English, we have to learn English AND ( not or) Spanish in our schools. Brazil has it's problems yes, we are not saying it doesn't, but which country doesn't have?
Eu sou Brasileiro com MUITO ORGULHO.
I'm Brazilian WITH PROUD
I live Recife. I'm also brought up in belfast northern Ireland. It's full of paramilitary
@Isarsi93
Over here in Europe people usually think positively about Brazil. They associate the country mostly with beaches, carnival and stuff. It's the dream of many to go there once.
Chegar aos 40 anos é uma meta?! Não é preciso dizer mais nada. É uma zona de guerra. Que tristeza.
It might be a nice place to visit, but I sure wouldn't want to live there...
O Brasil é um país muito,muito grande,sua beleza natural e grandes cidades supera essas favelas horriveis,e é claro que no mundo inteiro existem favelas isso não é surpresa para ninguém,se ao invés de criticarem,ajuda-sem o proxímo teriamos um mundo bem melhor.
where are the subtitles for the native speakers (Portuguese)?
He's inventing this history!
Really sad and dangerous. I wonder what the life expectancy is.
Seen many many gore pics from this region of the world.
@soulcastcherbr amigo, Rio Grande do Sul não se traduz :)
