Villa Aliança
WORK-IN-PROGRESS DOCUMENTARY
This feature-length documentary follows the riveting story of four young artists who attend Centro Cultural, a school for music and visual art in Villa Aliança, a favela outside Rio de Janeiro. Over the course of a year, we follow the journey of these kids as they avoid the lure of the drug trade through theater, music, and painting, producing a portrait of a community rarely seen on film with such intimacy and unflinching truth.
