CITY OF MEN
Fernando Meirelles
From the team behind the Academy Award®-nominated feature CITY OF GOD, including directors Fernando Meirelles (THE CONSTANT GARDNER) and Kátia Lund comes the hit Brazilian television series CITY OF MEN, a comedy/drama about two teenage boys growing up in a dangerous Rio de Janeiro slum starring Darlan Cunha and Douglas Silva, featured in the motion picture that inspired this series.
The CITY is a shantytown located in one of the many mountains of Rio de Janeiro. The MEN are two 13-year-old kids, Laranjinha and Acerola. This series brilliantly mixes humor and reality to explore life in the “favelas” and in particular the indomitable spirit of two best friends growing up in one of most volatile communities in the world.

“Focused on two friends, ‘CITY OF MEN’ feels real, like a Brazilian ‘Wonder Years.’ With some guns. – Los Angeles Times
“CITY OF MEN” pulses with the kind of energy you don’t get often on American television, and the realness of the shot-on-location scene really makes each episode feel like a minimovie.” - The San Francisco Chronicle
