THE BOYS of vila cruzeiro
Fabienne Haerinck // Roel Nollet // 2022 // 61 min
Vila Cruzeiro is one of the most dangerous favelas in Rio de Janeiro. People live in poverty, in the midst of a drug war. Every day, there are shootings between the police and drug traffickers. Violence in the neighborhoods is only increasing and children are the main victims. Redhorse Reporters Fabienne Haerinck and Roel Nollet visualize the neighborhood through the eyes of the children and investigate the sense and nonsense of the 'War on Drugs'.
Realised with the support of Fonds Pascal Decroos voor bijzondere journalistiek, Equator and the Belgian Development Cooperation.

“The war on drugs is totally absurd, And above all: nothing really changes. The queue of young people who want to enter the drug trade is only getting longer.”
