Radio Favela (Uma Onda No Ar)
Spoken: Portugese. Subtitles: Dutch.
Four friends start a radio station for the inhabitants of their favela. Their small-scale project is a great success. The poor get a voice. Calls to find lost pets or bury the hatchet between families are interspersed with hip-hop and samba music. But Radio Favela does not spare the official instances, which will have serious consequences. Based on the real story of Rádio Favela, an illegal radio station, founded in 1980 in a favela in Belo Horizonte.
