Un hombre y un movimiento entre una ciudad dividida y una favela unida. Anderson Sá, es sólo uno más de los habitantes de una de las peores favelas de Río de Janeiro. Hastiado de tanta violencia cotidiana, un día decide que ya es hora de cambiar las cosas o al menos de intentarlo. A través de la música, crea el Grupo Cultural Afro-Reggae, que nace y se extiende para dar una oportunidad a los miles de niños de la calle absorbidos por las drogas y la delincuencia.
The film focuses on the work of Anderson Sá, a former drug trafficker who establishes the grassroots movement Afro Reggae. The group, Grupo Cultural AfroReggae (AfroReggae Cultural Group), was initially intended to draw in adolescents interested in a number of musical genres. These genres include, but are not limited to soul, reggae, rap, and hip-hop. Early on, Grupo Cultural AfroReggae offered a different type of education to the youth it attracted. This education included workshops focusing on dance, recycling, soccer, percussion, and more. The group aims at using music and education to better the lives of youth and prevent further growth of gangs. Grupo Cultural AfroReggae believes that through education, there is a greater likelihood that adolescents will not get caught up in drugs and gang violence.
