"Our Rights In City of God" - Documentary project about Child Rights in the community of Cidade de Deus, Rio de Janeiro

"Nossos Direitos na Cidade de Deus", or "Our Rights in City of God" is a 30-minute documentary about child rights in the community of Cidade de Deus in Rio de Janeiro. All the footage used in the film was shot by a gorup of 15 children and youth from the community. Participating children were between the ages of 7 and 14.

The children and youth took part in a two month media and child rights project that a group of Graduate Students from the New School's International Affairs Program carried out over the summer of 2010.
