For these inhabitants of Rocinha, surfing is more than a simple pastime. What are your thoughts on their efforts to get more people to care about surfing and the ocean?
hello i used one of your videos of the LA Riots of the 60s in my video i made, i believe i meet the standards of Fair use & Copyright use as long as i credit you of the videos i used for my project that i created i have included you in the description w the link to your profile & other sources that i also used in creating the video Thankyou.
In every favela or barrio in Latin America, there is bad but there are also good people. There is violence but there is also hope. This short film depicts other violence which affects nature and people: the pollution and raw sewage running through the streets and into the ocean. The violence of Rocinha is illustrated by the boy who talks about his friends dying because they went down the 'wrong path'. In this chaotic world called Rocinha, a few found order, discipline, fun and passion for surfing. There is nothing romantic about raw sewage, but the film captures the romanticism of a few, who despite their chaotic environment, are able to elevate their spirits and find a connection with others and nature in a positive way.
Muitos devem pensar a favela Rocinha é assim, mas gostaria que não fosse casa minha!? Brasil a sexta economia mundial com tanta riqueza podia subir no ranking e atingir o topo se não fosse a corrup... que é meio caminho andado para?! A pobreza dá votos ...comida por um voto ... um país de telenovelas onde a realidade não é caracterizada ... Estes guetos na realidade serão saudáveis para alguém?? A educação, o acesso ao ensino existem?? O nível de analfabetização quanto maior for pior para as pessoas...O país da terra de Vera Cruz uma aguarela viva em tons mais cinzentos..O Surf é um desporto de água ...essa que pode ter o poder de sarar muitas feridas e vidas ... Um ponto de partida para uma outra vida e um ponto de chegada! ao triunfo!! Na crista da onda muito a conquistar e um mar para estimar!!
Mostrando só um lado da moeda não ajuda muito. Seria bom que visse a realidade e daí o trabalho que esses surfistas estão fazendo. Quem sabe isso faria outras pessoas a ajudarem também. A verdade é que precisamos de ajuda DIVINA!!! Só Deus nessa causa!!! Abraço!!
I'm sorry National Geographic but this video is romanticized the Rocinha favela. There is a war between traffickers that has made Rio a horrible place to live. Many people die every day, pregnant women, children are shot inside the school, on the buses, inside the subway. Rio de Janeiro is beautiful, but it was dominated by drug dealers and corrupt politicians. I have lived here for many years and have never seen the situation in the country so bad. The army patrols the streets of Rio, even though it is incapable of containing violence. This video is a mistake and does not show reality. This guy is a hero but, unfortunately, the traffic has won !!! All of this is very sad for all of us.
It's a movie about people from Rocinha who surf and who use surf as a way to stay away from the problems and difficulties of living there. You don't need to show explicit violence to make it clear that there is violence in that environment. I think people can clearly feel that by the movie. But also, you can't just resume life and people in favelas to violence and traffic. There are people, working, chatting, having barbecues, dancing... There's so much more than that, and besides that. Like surfing, for instance. You also gotta show the alternatives people find or create themselves to survive all that madness, and to make life better for the community, for others and for themselves. Each guy talked about what seems to be more relevant, staying away from traffic, water pollution and environment, or how the community must stay together to improve Rocinha's quality of life. Maybe you could go there and teach them how they should portray their lives better. But of course, you can make a remake of Tropa de Elite and show this people that this world of violence and death is what their lives is all about, as if they didn't know enough!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
This is an amazing, beautiful film, but it glosses over the harshness of Rio too much. And yes, I suppose that the idea of this is to show the surfing community of Rocinha... but still.

It's still like that today?
Rhetorical Amusement yeah sorry to say that it’s the truth
Rhetorical Amusement but it’s getting better every year now
I agree, I’m Brazilian. Hoping that this corruption will be over soon.
