Most of the actors in City of God (Cidade de Deus), the 2002 Brazilian film directed by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund, were indeed members of the actual community or similar favelas in Rio de Janeiro. The film is notable for its use of non-professional actors, many of whom had no prior acting experience before being cast in the movie. The filmmakers chose to cast people from the favelas to add authenticity to the film, which tells the story of the rise of organized crime in the Cidade de Deus neighborhood. Several of the actors, including those in major roles, were from the community or other nearby favelas. The production included a workshop to train these non-professional actors before filming began. For example, Alexandre Rodrigues, who played the main character Buscapé (Rocket), and Leandro Firmino, who portrayed the violent gang leader Zé Pequeno (Li'l Zé), were both from favelas. Their performances contributed to the film's raw and realistic portrayal of life in the Cidade de Deus favela. This approach to casting helped City of God become one of the most critically acclaimed films of its time, known for its gripping realism and powerful storytelling.
