Our take

Juliana Antunes proves herself as a new talent in Brazilian cinema by providing a voice to the resilient women of the favelas with this uncompromising debut. The candid conversations between Andreia and Leid present an unfiltered female perspective of the on-going battles faced during gang wars.
