Portuguese with english subtitles.


As cops close in on a pirate radio station in Belo Horizonte, and dj Alexandre Moreno laughs off claims of a UN award, the flashbacks start to four young friends-Moreno, techie Benjamim Abras, musician Babu Santana and druglord wannabe Adolfo Moura and their dreams of starting an alternative voice for the slums. Based on the true story of Radio Favela. Charismatic performances by the mostly debuting cast, terrific photography and music highlight this amazing change of pace from the director of often-hilarious 19thcentury literary adaptation (LOVE AND CO. '99 fest). Best Actor (Moreno). Special Jury Granado Festival.


Cuando la polic�a cierra el cerco sobre una estaci�n de radio pirata en Belo Horizonte, y el "dj" Alexandre Moreno toma a risa un premio de Naciones Unidas, comienza el relato retrospectivo sobre cuatro amigos j�venes-Moreno, el t�cnico Benjam�m Abras, el m�sico Babu Santana y el aspirante a traficante de drogas Adolfo Moura y su sue�o de iniciar una voz radial alternativa para la barriada. Basado en la historia real de Radio Favela. Actuaciones carism�ticas de un elenco en su mayor�a debutantes, estupenda fotograf�a y m�sica, pone de relevancia este sorprendente cambio por parte de un director de la adaptaci�n, a menudo c�mica, de la obra literaria del siglo XIX (LOVE AND CO., festival de 1999) Mejor actor (Moreno). Premio Especial del Jurado del Festival Granado.
