Morrinho: God Knows Everything but He is not a Snitch
Thursday 29 April 2010, 1:00pm, Cinema
Unless otherwise stated, screenings are open to students at the ASD only.
In the late 1990s, a group of kids in one of Rio de Janeiro’s favelas embarked on an ambitious and imaginative project in an attempt to stay out of trouble. Almost a decade later, in 2007, the result is an intricate scale model of their favela constructed of broken bricks and inhabited by hundreds of Lego figures.
The film caputres over 8 years of changes in their lives, their neighbourhood and their travels, creating a stirring glimpse into the transformative power of art.
