Read an interview here with Ferdando Meirelles, the director of 'City of God' for Slant Magazine.
Extract:
Slant: What has been the impact of City of God in Brazil?
FM: The film was such a hit in Brazil because of all the debates it provoked. I've been to a lot of universities and unions with the film. Lula [Brazil's president, Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva] came to me and said that my film changed his policies of public security. It was great to hear that.
