FAVELA FITNESS

NIKE "Rocinha Boys" (Short Film) from KAYHAN LANNES OZMEN on Vimeo.

Rocinha, perhaps Rio de Janeiro’s most famous favela (slum), lies like a beast carved into the cradle of the Rio de Janeiro mountains, standing guard forever over the ultra-rich penthouses sprawling and spilling toward the Atlantic Ocean. Rocinha is governed by drug traffickers, and the police enter only on raids with elite troops and helicopters. The heartbeat of Rocinha is loud and never stops—300,000 favelados (slum residents) shouting, dancing and surviving with style.
