The main concept of the movie revolves around the unjust system; the blind Brazilian authorities that single-handedly create criminals by neglecting and aggressing most of the poor people instead of creating ways of improving their lives.

Favela Rising" is yet another motion picture intended to expose the truth concerning the Latin-American slums. The action again takes place in Rio de Janeiro, but the intriguing part about the film is that it is a documentary which tells the story of Anderson Sa, a former drug dealer from the Vigario Geral district.

Anderson had been living in a favela in Rio de Janeiro when he heard that his brother has been accidentally shot in the middle of a gang war. Just as the characters in the previous movies and in Carolina's book, Anderson was determined to get away from the atrocities happening in his neighborhood. Being a wonderful singer,...

However, before becoming a singer, Anderson had to comply with his condition and had turned into a drug dealer. Fortunately, he had changed his life of crime into an honest life before it was too late.
Carolina, Rocket, Sandro, and Anderson are either real life characters or inventions of writers and film makers. The impressive thing about all of them is that they all attempted to improve the world, and while some failed, others succeeded. But the best thing is that their stories have been passed on, and, with them, people have learned about what was going on in the favelas in Latin-America.

I do not think Hollywood would accept many Latina performers if they did not play to this exotic idea of Latina women. It seems to be a stereotype that has held on from even before Carmen Miranda, and she just underscored it. Americans accept and promote stereotypes like this, and the performers mold to them, either consciously or unconsciously, in an attempt to broaden their careers and become famous, and
