AEC Spring Independent Film Series
February 8 - May 1

City of Men is an epic tale of gang warfare set in Rio de Janeiro’s hillside slums. Growing up in a culture dictated by violence and run by street gangs, teenagers Acerola and Laranjinha have become close as brothers. As their 18th birthdays approach, they search for clues to their missing fathers’ pasts. What they discover, however, shatters their solid friendship and places them on opposite sides of a war between rival drug gangs.
