Piece Description
Favelas or shantytowns are easy to see as they dot the hillsides throughout Sao Paulo, Brazil. Brazil may be the 10th largest economy in the world, but the United Nations most recent Human Development Index says roughly one-out-of-five people Brazilians live on less than two dollars a day. In Sao Paulo, kidnapping, armed assault, and homicide have become a routine part of daily life for many of the city's 19 million residents. Despite these challenges, Brazil's government has developed some creative solutions to fight crime and poverty. Kristin McHugh witnessed this up close, in some of the poorest neighborhoods in Sao Paulo. Kristin McHugh's report, released in June 2008, is part of the documentary special "Brazil Rising" produced by the Stanley Foundation, KQED Public Radio, and KUT Austin.
