"From the team behind the Oscar-nominated film City of God comes the acclaimed spin-off series that drew 35 million viewers in Brazil.

Filmed on location, City of Men mixes comedy and drama to tell the stories of Laranjinha and Acerola, two 13-year-olds who live in a notorious Rio slum; a community of drug-dealers, hustlers and teenagers struggling to fulfil their dreams. "
