vidigal is also routinely discussed and
followed in
vivafavela,
a highly recommended source for anthropological and
current studies. on this site, local
correspondents submit articles and pictures
offering a unique insight in the day-to-day life of
the favela.
an interesting 5-minute documentary titled 'vidigal'
by
cavi borges and
gustavo mello, is a peek into
carioca's popular culture, from the
perspective of a passenger
driving uphill in the favela. it can
be seen on
this link.
spending some time inside vidigal is a
good way for visitors to learn about
favela culture and participate
relatively safely in local events.
