yes, the film is excellent although I have no desire to watch
it again soon. Too much realistic violence for my tastes

the film has been repeatedly discussed on various
threads during the last months smile

I haven't seen it, but after going to the link you posted I was reminded of this film. There seems to be a similar storyline.



After googling this photo, I found this..



PIXOTE is director Hector Babencos award-winning 1980 Brazilian film about one boys struggle to survive the terrors of street life in São Paolo. The character of Pixote was played by poor child actor Fernando Ramos da Silva, selected from 1300 potential other boys to play the lead, and who was to earn great fame and fortune. But tragically he was later murdered by the police. This biopic tells the awful truth, follows the terrible grim events leading up to that fateful real-life killing.

Looks like I have to add these movies to my list.
