Inside Rio’s favelas, the city's neglected neighborhoods

Quem aki e do brasil fale português??

Good vídeo😌

Nice video but you should have said that Brazilian police is not only the one that most kill but also the one most killed in the world, it’s not easy to be a policeman in these areas.

😞

Our poor live in tents on the streets.

Its not what he be sayin maaaaaan

I have lived in Rio my entire life, 25 years noe. You forgot to mention that these favelas are a shithole, full of drugs, murders, rapes, theft and violence of all sorts. Organized crime has dominated these places for decades and is heavily armed. Stop romanticizing the worst of our city and help us fix it.

A policia mata pra não morrer meu amigo.

Relax with the socialist comments, thats all Im going to say

Favela

After you visit BG you'll know the real Brazil👍

I love the music! Sounds like Bonobo with a bit of Plaid... like Tortoise at moments.

EWW

needs a new documentary, the pacification did not work, the Rio police and the one who dies the most in the confrontations! and also an error the largest favela in Brazil is on the outskirts of Brasília in the city of Ceilândia, "sun rising and sunset" and does not need to be in hills ..

Call of duty MD 2 were the best

Glad that you knew about gangs in alemao and didnt entered

That was beautiful. Thanks for making this video!

favelas are a big problem in terms of crime and desperation of social classes and race .. Why not just destroy them and relocate its inhabitants into integrated housing .. Even if Brazil has never had formal segregation like America or South Africa these settlements are a form of segregation , they close off darker lower income from the rest of society

"The ghetto"

Clickbait. Show the reality.

you didnt went to the favela do alemão because they are run by drug trafcking gangs your a joke what kind of journalist are you? there are journalists going into the middle of war zones to report and here you are afraid of going into the favelas

Eu acho isso meio triste e legal ao mesmo tempo porque de um jeito muitas pessoas no mundo incluindo em Brasil simplesmente tem medo de ir em Rio por causa da violência, e o outro nunca ia imaginar que teria pessoas que vivem uma vida tao criativa. A corrupcao esta de mais da conta e so parece que vai piorar:(

Its a big shithole

what a great video and short story. thanks so much for sharing. very inspiring.

Zest and creativity?? You mean dangerous death traps

Now Vox don't go making it cool for Western hipsters to visit favelas...

Ran through the favelas in a max Payne game.... That was bad enough

Oh look they’re “thriving” in creative ways right vox? Why don’t you hippies go and live there then

Knowing about the good things that sprung on the complexes restores a little hope...
But the police kills for arrests ratio was quite shocking...

So kinda like the Kowloon Walled City but to a way larger scale

I'm glad the world gets to see the reality of many over here. All that this government of ours does is steal and oppress... SMH

No one talking about favela on rainbow six siege

He just said....the favella is home to some of the most peaceful and resourceful people in the world...🤣🤣🤣🤣
PEACEFUL???
SAO PAULO is the worst of the worst for violence...

Rainbow six siege¿?

I think most of the narrative of this video is horseshit. Anyway - what I want to know is: how are essential services like electricity, water and sewage provided, installed, managed and paid for? These are headaches for well-regulated, well-equipped and well-funded (i.e. taxed with rates, permits and licenses) cities. Where can we read/see more on the community organisations that handle these issues in the favelas?

Wow you are on a whole 'nother level of ignorant. PMA and all, but the favelas are literally some of the most dangerous places on Earth so this video is just like watching a rape with heart-shaped glasses, popcorn and Coke.

These comments have missed the point of this video. This video makes an effort to show the dark side but the aim of the video is to not demonize people that grew up and live there, that they are doing their best. To show another side that the world usually doesn’t see.... I mean, He literally says he can’t go into a specific favela bcs of how dangerous it is...

Good video, but don’t agree w last statement of his as said drugs n gangs is just small slice of favelas

I am not sure how to say this, but I kinda like the style of these favela districts. These houses may looks so muddled up, but it also wakes a excited feeling/mood in me, a feeling of trust, family, community. I am sure if the circumstances/standarts of living would be better in that places, many may find their way into these places, like myself :) I would like to live in such a place, but just without crime and corruption. I hope that Rio will recover from it's crisis soon...

Brazilians are great people..i know a lot of them in Boston Ma.

As a brazilian american, listening to the Vox guy continually failing to make the "ão" sound kind of kills me inside, but I also get it.

Favelas are "informal communities", meaning that they were built ILLEGALLY in potentially dangerous places. Many favelas are at risk of being destroyed in landslides, for example. Because they were built illegally, the city police has a significantly reduced presence. This leads to a massive amount of crime, which is boosted by the unplanned structure of the favelas, giving the criminals plenty of hiding places for themselves or for guns, drugs, etc. Also, "makeshift solutions to basic needs like electricity and running water" is an interesting way of saying many of the residents are STEALING electricity and water.

The trash garden is beautiful wish more of us do that

EU in a few years

isso não representa a grandeza do Brasil !isso e esgoto a céu aberto!

The hills views are much more beautiful. They might not have a million dollar but they have a million dollar view.

She come from the favela
Hills of Santa Theresa

How many policeman die in duty every day ?

Politicians are concerned with ONE THING - BRIBES

Those faces on the walls are from vhills :) nice video

odeio favela

Is growing fruit in a garden that is built from trash a good idea?

They're populated with barbaric low IQ cockroach people, that's why it's a mess. Put Scandinavian people and you'll have harmony and order in less than a year.

Vox: The solution? Upzoning.

φαβελα

This is a very well-rounded analysis. We have featured it here: bestofbrazil.blog/2018/08/29/brazil-101-a-well-rounded-look-at-rios-favelas/

This is a very fixable issue,Brazil's government is made up of selfish,greedy cowards! they spent about 13 billion
on the olympic games but can't spend that money on their citizens,for housing,jobs,healthcare education?

When I hear Favela I’m Thinking of play call of duty

Bolsonaro neles!!

i'm 100% sure I could run across the roof tops and escape via helo.

Which 6 favelas did you "experience your life" in, that you haven't died being so foreign holding that coconut drink. This entire video is made on the tourist fantasy drug. I hope more hipster tourists go visit favelas after this video chasing their dreams and continue to contribute their wallet and life to the legend of Latin America Favelas. btw, after you experience a robbery on gun point, or several for that matter, I think the next time you see someone robbing you, you would want to shoot their head off too.

doesnt Alemao mean „Germany“? I am confused

This guy does good videos for vox

As a Brazilian, what scares me most is that I just believe that favelas in Brazil are a lost cause. I see no hope. It's one step forward, two steps back.

You forgot to mention that the city of Rio, and the Rio de Janeiro State itself, are suffering from huge levels of public indebtedness; the public power doesn't have new tax or loans revenues to expand the public works and etc, instead having to deal with enormouse public pensions and salaries (corruption etc). So it is fair to say that in most favelas the drug gangs rule as a informal public power, even going as far as to protect the comunity from the normal thiefs and petty crimes (as long as they can safely sell their drugs and arms, that is); this created a situation in which a considerable amount of Rio's population actually prefer to live under the protection of the informal State of the cartel's and not under Rio's constitutionally legitime power.

Modern warfare 2

Every people who lives in that slum seems like they are hiding a artist inside them better than Mumbai slum it's my opinion comment which slums you think are the best and colourful Rio or Mumbai

6:50 what do you compare a huge country to rio for it makes no sense think about how many people live in the whole untied states compared to rio. Think before you add that into the video 😂

VOX is another low quality type of "journalism" of Internet generation...

Another fact is that all police and politicians are corrupt(yes its a FACT,there's a movie about the police called ''elite troop''where a guy report it,and many Rio de Janeiro politicians are already in jail for corrpution,so all our politicians and police are part of a big mafia of drug dealers,EVEN THE NACIONAL ARMY are already caught supporting corrpution

My grandpa lives in a favela next to the hill owner(a big drug dealer)where police cannot even go to that place,the saddier is that the humilty people who live there really believe the drug dealers are the good guys,because they gave security,financial help in exchange of people help ,so they have a big guerila army.I think if the favela people did like the mexicans did with the drug cartels,stop supporting them and start a war with them,they couldnt use their guerila tatic and would end soon.

Another failure of democracy. Not the peoples fault, who are creative, but the inept government.

Alemão means German

Seems like a peaceful city, lots of artists and musicians! Would definitely like to visit someday. Tbh I think the “gangs” are just there to intimidate tourists haha

the table on 3:25, made out of the bike wheel is very creative!

I love all of Vox, but borders is definitely my favorite. Thank you for showing the world through a much clearer lens.

Just a small corrections, some images you use form Michael Jackson/Santa Marta are actually from Pelourinho in Salvador

And yet we get blamed for all the slavery. Figures.

Slums!

CUIDADO NO QUE FALA E DE ONDE FALA!!!!!

That garden is beautiful!

Loving the Bonobo choice of music

The Cinematic Orchestra...you have got me now for 101%.

It’s almost like kowloon wall city before it was destroyed

Bring favela back

The Survival Of The Creative

Rainbow six siege anyone?

Awesome,informative

The Favelas is the true face of Brazil.

Hopefully this will encourage more tourists to take the "cab ride through the favelas" tour. It makes for catchy headlines!

Fast Five was filmed there!

whats the music around 3:20? absolute class

show the drug lord houses.

Powerlines are even crazier than Thailand

*RAINBOW SIX SIEGE*

The man that made the garden is phenomenal

One of the best Call of Duty maps ever
