RADIO FAVELA - UMA ONDA NO AR

Music driven story of young heroes rising from an urban ghetto to popular recognition.

From within their impoverished surroundings, four young boys from the slums in Brazil dream of setting up a radio station that will shout at the world the voice of the voiceless, and express their reality and music.

In a short time, the radio gained a huge following with upfront denunciation and spontaneous language. Radio Favela went far beyond the reach of its air waves, bringing our heroes into close clash with the authorities.

Angry, fast, and young, with excellent hip hop soundtrack, it has a finger on the pulse!
