City of God - Maia Makes Us Sad (feat. Maia from The Films Trip)

Published: Sept. 22, 2020, 10 a.m.

Featuring a sprawling, non-linear story and complex social themes, City of God proved that Brazil could make films to rival Hollywood. Taking on poverty, government corruption, and the cycle of violence, it also proved that Brazil's local problems are extremely universal. This week, Maia (from the upcoming The Films Trip), tells us why this movie is so important to her heritage, schools us on the history of Brazil - and makes us extraordinarily depressed when we face the realities of the world.
