Favela Rising

Oh yeah! I finally got around to watching my friend's friend Jeff Zimbalist's documentary on the powerfully positive Afro-Reggae cultural-political movement in the slums of Rio, Favela Rising. I thought it was great, with terrifically likeable characters, including Jeff himself in the bonus feature.

And today Rio gets the 2016 Olympics... another chance to capture a rising tide to lift all boats.
