A GEOGRAPHY OF INEQUALITIES

Large cities increasingly reflect social exclusion and the most diverse forms of inequality. Currently, 84% of Brazil’s population lives in urban areas and more than 11 million people live in favelas. In this urban space, especially in the peripheries and slums, inequalities have compromised the exercise of rights, a dignified life and the democratic participation of people. Oxfam Brasil invited filmmaker Day Rodrigues to produce a short documentary that would translate this issue, interviewing the architect and urban planner Joice Berth. Thus was born A Geography of Inequalities.
