Journal Set 1: Favela Rising
Favela is locally known as ghettos of Rio de Janeiro in
Brazil. Gangs, violence, drug dealing and conflict with police officials are a
common part of daily life in this region. Anderson Sa is one of the member of
favela and he was a drug-trafficker here. He saw violence and related ugly
things in favela , and also he saw many people that died in situations
which police officials attacked them. After a while later, Anderson Sa realized
the fact that the life that he was living had a dead end. Even innocent people
were being killed at the time of police operations in favela because this area
was known as criminal territory in the city, and people are all guilty. Hence,
he decided to give up selling drugs and gang life to become the leader of this
community in his struggle that is against violence. So, he became the
representative and warrior of favela against violence and Anderson believed
that music could be more than entertainment, so it would be a force for their
right struggle.
In the movie Favela Rising, Anderson Sa had used his talent
to take youth from using drugs, so he and his close friends decided to use
music and dance in order to express their ideas in favor of nonviolent life, by
the way children in favela want to be outlaw and Anderson and his friends start
to inform them about outlaw’s future. After a while, police officials did not
see their efforts and decide to make an attack to favelas again. Anderson’s music
and dance group’s name was Affroreggae and This group lost its one of the first
members in this police operation. This made them very sad, but at the same time
made them more and more ambitious in their struggle. They were not
comprehending to the attacks of police officials since they were only trying to
create their own cultural universe with music and dance. Thus, they continued
to work and develop their skills. Meanwhile, their number of fans continued to
increase day by day, so expanded to many people. Their lyrics were including
words and sayings against violence and in favor of justice.
