City of God (2002)

"In the poverty-stricken favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, two young men choose different paths. Rocket is a budding photographer who documents the increasing drug-related violence of his neighborhood, while José “Zé” Pequeno is an ambitious drug dealer diving into a dangerous life of crime."

If this is your first movie with us, welcome! The Byrd is currently replacing the chairs in the main auditorium, but the recently renovated balcony is now open. Hooray! Hosts will be up there 10-15 min before showtime in the front row. If it isn’t packed, we tend to spread out so people can relax their elbows. You’re welcome to sit with or come say hi! After the movie, we’ll chat outside under the marquee. Please stay and talk with us!
