I think that Favela Riseing's subtitles was to fast to read and it could of been easyer to follow the film and it also could show more of there work and not all of the violence going on and it could show more children. The googd parts were all the work they were doing and how all the money was sent back to there hometown for there progrems they set. It is verry upsetting to see how all the children end up being ether drug lords or drug soldiers because it gives you food clean clothes and new sandels all from having a job that can get you and every one else killed just beacuse you give lots of people drugs. It has allowed me to see in to a differant contrey and a differant lives to usand how all the police treat them all like trashand dont help them at all. This film was super great and recamend that all people watch it.
