Record of the research process for Eu, Favela, short movie directed by Ana Luiza Mello and Viviane Giaquinta, produced as an academic project for PUC-Rio's Design course.
The movie investigates the gentrification process that resulted from the implementation of the Pacifying Police Units in Rio de Janeiro's favelas, as a result of the vertiginous real estate valuation and the rise in the costs of infrastructure. Testimonies from residents of the Chapéu Mangueira community, in the Leme neighbourhood, call attention to the consequences of the current government's policy, alerting the population so that the favela culture is not lost.
