And the story is of Hora's life from childhood to adulthood in one of the oldest favelas (shanty-towns) climbing Providence Hill in Rio de Janeiro. Telling Hora's story also charts the street life changes in the favela over the last part of the 20th century. With poverty a given and police raids a constant, life grows more violent as the community alters from old-time "gangster values" of looking after your own community to gun and drug fueled anarchy. Hora's tragic family life and his own struggle to become a photographer and to document his own favela surroundings is absorbing. The book includes some of Hora's photos.
I enjoyed this book and its artwork - which tells an inspiring story of another kind of hero. ( )
