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; who played Little Dice in City of God)as they struggle to grow up surrounded by poverty and the lucrative temptations offered by the drug trade. Filmed on location in the 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 startly grim reality. When first broadcast in Brazil, City of Men drew a massive 35 million viewers and destroyed the taboo against the gritty realities of Brazilian street life on local television. All nine episodes from the first and second series are included on the DVD, including those directed by Oscar nominated Fernando Meirelles (for City of God), Katia Lund and Paulo Lins (author of the book on which City of God was based) Disc 1: Series 1
