#video#Brazil When children from Complexo de Alemao go to school, they know they have first to look left, right, and left again before crossing a road… in case there’s a gunfight between gangsters and police. Complexo de Alemao is one of Rio’s largest and most visible favelas. It’s a city within a city with its own rules and a source of Brazil’s organised crime. The ongoing war between government forces and gang members has kept residents in the crossfire. Since 2008, the city has established special Pacifying Police Units across Rio’s favelas to make streets safer. However, police have been accused of brutality and lack of accountability. Peek inside the life in Complexo de Alemao in our documentary, FavelaLive, and find out why people like and are proud of their favela. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
