City of God is based on a true story set in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. It follows a boy named Rocket who wants to become a photographer while growing up around gangs, crime, and violence. The film feels real because it was shot in actual favelas with local people acting in it. It shows both the danger and the everyday life in that world with powerful storytelling and energy. This isn’t just a movie about crime — it’s one of the best films ever made. It’s emotional, intense, and stays with you
