Following the incredible success of the Oscar nominated City of God, comes the explosive series City of Men - it follows the adventures of two teenage boys Laranjinha (Darlan Cunha) and Acerola (Douglas Silva) as they struggle to grow up surrounded by poverty and the lucrative temptations offered by the drug trade. Filmed on location in a notorious Rio slum, and using local actors to capture the gritty realism of Brazilian street life, City of Men combines a sharp sense of humour with a startingly grim reality. When first aired on television, City of Men drew a massive 35 million viewers in its native Brazil.
