June 2003 The violence spilling out of Brazil's slums or 'favelas' has made the country's two major cities more dangerous than most war zones. Children in Rio de Janeiro are eight times more likely to die violently than those in the West Bank. "They live on a kill or be killed basis," states anthropologist Luke Dowdney, who has spent five years studying the favelas. "If they don't kill someone when they're told to, they will be killed."

Nov 4, 2008 - O Brasil tem favelas como qualquer outro paÃs do mundo. Estados Unidos tem, Japão tem, o problema é que querem que Favela = Brasil. Mas a verdade não é essa. ---------- Brazil has slums like any other country in the world. United States has, Japan has, the problem is that they want ''Favela'' = Brazil. But is not the truth .

Nov 10, 2008 - Seriously, I agree with you 100%. Everywhere has its rich and poor and I am sick and tired of Americans thinking that everywhere in the US is a "bed of roses" per say. There are some shitty places that some of you wouldnt visit for the same reason why some people wouldnt visit a favela, but dont use this video as a tell all for the country of Brazil. Brazil is a place with a rich history and culture but tells the same story as anywhere else; a wide gap between the rich and the poor.

Nov 17, 2008 - The commentator is Australian not English. The English guy got it wrong South Africa has more deaths per year. There is only one way to salve the problem get rid of the blacks and trouble makers half the problem salved. Get rid of Lula thats the other half of the problem salved, how can you have a president uneducated, nãoth thsabe falar thcerto lÃngua no dente mentiroso filo da puta.
