A gritty, character-driven drama set in São Paulo's favelas that balances the harshness of gang violence and poverty with genuine warmth, hope, and the interconnected dreams of young people navigating impossible circumstances.

In the ghettos of the greatest metropolis in Brazil, a midst flying bullets, love and any number of hurdles, young people's stories mingle and collide in the search for dreams and choices. Inspired by true stories, the feature film 'Broken Town' reveals the struggle faced and the choices made by teenagers who have always been surrounded by weapons, crime, and hardship.
