Experiencing Interruptions?

Thiago

"Thiago - One of Many" tells the story of a young man how they can safely tell the streets of Rio many times. And then quite different.
I met Thiago during the last days of my stay in Brazil this year. Rarely has a human being so taken me and made me think so strongly about my own life, like Thiago. He tells me about his childhood in the favela. How was drugged in front of his house that he saw people brutally die. A system that offers no opportunities for the poorest of the poor. A life below the subsistence level. A life, as unfortunately too many people in Brazil have to lead. He tells me so many stories, each one would fill a book.
But it has not become a film about hopelessness and poverty, but a film about faith, will and hope. A story about a boy who almost lost everything - including his life. A boy who has resisted the system and rules of favelas. It is a film about Thiago, who has stuck to his dream, fought on his own, and still has so much to give to others.
