Angélica (played by Alice Braga in the film) does not return for the TV show but 'Rocket' (Alexandre Rodrigues) – who has achieved his dream of becoming a photo-journalist – Bernice (Roberta Rodrigues) and 'Lamp' (Thiago Martins) are among those clocking in for another spell in the 'City of God'.
And on this occasion they are joined by emerging talents from Rio de Janeiro communities like the City of God itself, Vidigal, and Mangueira.
In the original film we became familiar with the Brazilian saying "If you run, the beast will catch you; if you stay, it will eat you" and, true enough, twenty years on the neighborhood is still prey to various malevolent forces. However, this mini-series reveals what can happen when a community comes together.
