The third screening of the film at the 'Palacio' in downtown Rio last night was again sold out and the audience Q and A after the film was very engaging. I will be posting a detailed Rio report soon-a city where the poor in the favela's look down upon the rich from their hilltop perches of squalor.
A city where 'the bubble' of class and money defines the very character of the place.

Hearts and minds are already being won. Here is what Marcellus said after the screening at the 'Palacio'
"Dear Mr. Sharma
I was deeply moved for your courage and sensitiveness concerning this outstanding work of art. Your movie is touching, relevant and beautiful. As I have said to your producer during this last monday night sitting at Palacio in Rio,I congratulate both of you and wish you the best while featuring and showing this beautiful movie all over the world.
