| Description: | Rio, Rich and Poor: Images of Rio Beaches and high income neighborhoods contrast with images of Rio’s favelas or slums. Quick montage of Rio beaches: pan shoreline from water, women in thong bikinis, men playing beach volleyball. Various angles slum housing, shantytowns. Zoom out from downtown Rio to shanty towns. Telephoto slum area, zoom out to street. Hillside slums, and in distance on mountaintop a large cross overlooks them - perhaps the famous Christ the Redeemer statue; irony. Mostly vacant outdoor area with steps, a few military men around. Army jeep passes camera, small boy walks in front of cam and holds up his middle fingers in obscene gesture. Children and teens play with old soccer ball in street next to military jeep, soldiers. People (mostly children) jump up and down excitedly, seeming happy to see camera. People in poverty-stricken area. Man digs through garbage dumpster. | |
