- It was at the MOMA, but you can see it on Oct 22 in Washington, DC at Georgetown
With Rio de Janeiro winning the 2016 Olympics, many are becoming more curious about the city, which includes the (in)famous favelas. However, it is incredibly hard to get accurate and unbiased information. (What is accurate, anyway? No one community is the same, and so what is “accurate” in one place may be totally wrong in another.)
O Morrinho is an art project that can enlighten you about life in a favela of Rio de Janeiro, and it is a story that is told from those who live there, not an outsider’s view.
O Morrinho will be screening its documentary, Deus Sabe Tudo Mas Não é X9, (or in English God Knows Everything But is Not a Snitch). It will show on October 22, at 6:30pm as part of Georgetown Center for Latin American Study‘s “DC Film Showcase from Latin America, Spain, and Portugal.“
For everybody that has read my posts about favela tourism and O Morrinho, you have heard about O Morrinho and their documentary film. For those that haven’t read my posts, well you should read them! (Hey, a little shameless advertising for myself never hurt 
).
If you want to learn more about O Morrinho, check out their new website here and their twitter here.
