As the eyes of the world turn to Rio de Janeiro for the 2014 World Cup, this three-part observational series reveals the truth about life inside Rio\'s famous shanty-towns, the favelas, through the lives of people who live there.

This episode takes a look at the drug-trafficking, gang-controlled favelas, which are being pacified by the government\'s special forces ahead of the World Cup and Olympic Games.

The final episode of the series celebrates the resourcefulness of some of Rio\'s poorest residents. Living on their wits, favela residents are adept at exploiting whatever opportunities come their way.
