Description
From the producers of City of God and acclaimed writer/director/producer Tata Amaral comes Antônia, a moving, soulful look into the lives of four women living on the outskirts of São Paulo, Brazil. Determined to escape their poverty-stricken lives, the talented young women form an all-female rap group but find their road to success is riddled with sexism, racism, and violence. One by one, they succumb to their grim realities, putting the group's future—and their lifelong friendships—in jeopardy…until they learn that out of struggle comes strength, and out of strength, the courage to continue on.

This should be really good, 'City of God' was amazing!
