Город бога
60-е годы XX века. «Город Бога» — квартал в Рио-де-Жанейро, где живут главные герои — 8-летний Ракета, мечтающий стать фотографом, и его одногодок Дадинью. Дадинью принимает участие в вооруженном ограблении, организованном живущим по соседству гангстером Кабалейрой; с согласия Кабалейры он совершает свое первое убийство. 70-е годы. Ракета постоянно балансирует между мелкими правонарушениями и честной жизнью. На счету у Дадинью уже несколько убийств. Он возглавляет банду, которой управляет, используя хитрость и хладнокровное предательство. Поняв, что настоящая власть и большие деньги может дать только контроль над торговлей наркотиками в их квартале, он безжалостно идет к своей цели. 80-е годы. Ракета наконец получает фотоаппарат и осуществляет свою детскую мечту. Мечта Дадинью тоже сбылась: в 18 лет он стал самым крутым торговцем наркотиками в Рио.

Life in the Andes
The Andes Mountains travel the western side of South America. Unlike many other mountain ranges of their altitude, the Andes do support human life on their high altitude slopes. Modern life is slowly making its way to the high altitude Andes, but the natives for the most part continue with the traditional ways of their ancestors, growing limited crops such as beans and potatoes - where the crop originated - raising sheep and pigs, and living in crude huts. The llama is the most useful of their work animals. The most conspicuous aspect of the native dress is their derby hats, the origins which are unknown. Further down the slopes, agriculture and ranching is more productive and is carried out by descendants of the Spanish settlers. There is a famous lake district in the Chilean part of the Andes, where resort hotels are located.
