Cidade dos Homens is one of those shows that breaks your heart and at the same makes you feel like there’s hope for some of the world’s poorest people, os favelados in Brasil.

Cidade dos Homens (City Of Men) follows the two young men, Acerola and Laranjinha, as they live, survive and hustle in the favela. It’s obvious that the boys are mischievous, and they get into many a scrape, but it’s also clear that the boys have good hearts.
The cast of characters and life lessons taught and shown in the series bring a face to the suffering of the people in the favelas. When Espeto’s girlfriend waits in line all night just to get her boyfriend a job sweeping streets, only to have him be turned down because he cannot read and write (as Espeto astutely points out: Why do I need to know how to read and write to sweep the streets?), we can see the chokehold bureaucracy and incompetence have on Brazilians.

Despite all these obstacles and roadblocks, Cidade dos Homens(City of Men) is full of smiles, joyful moments and lots of great music. It’s a coming of age story, albeit one with a slightly different perspective.
The acting is engaging, the episodes are well-written and beautifully filmed and the character development is second to no other television show or film I’ve ever seen. Throughout the series there is an unprecedented blend of drama and humor that is sublimely touching.
After a few episodes you will find yourself thinking about the characters as if you know them personally, especially the incredibly multi-faceted main characters Acerola and Laranjinha. You will find yourself feeling a complete spectrum of emotion as you follow the two boys through agonizing challenges and life lessons that are often used as a vehicle of social commentary about Brazilian political and social structures. This commentary is delivered in a variety of original ways including interviews with real people cut right into the middle of story-lines and unscripted interactions between the show’s actors filmed in a documentary style.
In addition to the fantastic character development there is equally impressive development of setting. There were times I felt I was running right along with the characters through the rough, disorienting, labyrinth of a neighborhood they live in. The distance between you on your couch and the environment on your television screen will never feel smaller than it does while watching City of Men.
All of that said, there are times where the seemingly insurmountable challenges Acerola and Laranjinha face feel formulaic and there are a couple episodes that are noticeably less enjoyable than the others because of inexplicable plot developments and inconsistencies, to the point where at times I was wondering if I had missed episodes. (One episode ends with one of the boys stating, “We never saw him again…”, about a character who appears in the very next episode.) Also, if you find yourself as immersed in Acerola and Laranjinha’s lives as I did, the last episode will feel like a bit of a slap in the face.
All in all this series is well worth the 13 odd hours you will spend watching. At it’s worst it is wildly entertaining and evocative and at it’s best it transcends it’s medium to directly enhance your core understanding of society, privilege, oppression (mainly of poor people by government establishments), and the fundamental experiences, (love, friendship, work, pride, hardship, fear, the search for identity and meaning) that we all share.
