we took a walk
on
rua 4 in rocinha, a newly redeveloped
street symbolic of the progress being made, and
posted
our photographs on
this page.
the documentary
'a
nation called rocinha' by dutch
videographer and composer gijs andriessen is a
treasure of images of rocinha in the 80's, before
many of the improvements and the urbanization of
this favela.
an
aerial viewof rocinha can be seen on this
wikimapia,
also clearly mapping the surrounding areas and
nearby communities.
if a 'far away' map opens, do not scroll, just zoom
in using the '+' and '-' signs on the top-left.
