It’s been two decades since we first followed the tales from the favela of Cidade de Deus in Fernando Meirelles’ acclaimed film. Now the series gives us a glimpse into how this community and its people have evolved over the years.
Familiar faces return to the neighborhood, though changes are evident both externally and within. We catch up with Rocket, still roaming the streets with camera in hand; his job as a photojournalist is now bringing both opportunity and conflict. While his skills have developed, keeping his lens focused on the area’s challenges proves a difficult line to straddle.
The surrounding buildings crowd closer together amid the favela’s growth. Yet signs of renewed hope also emerge, such as lively games of football in safer pockets of the streets. Yet dangers still lurk around many corners for all who call this place home.
Newcomers now also share stories within these alleys.

After 12 seasons on linear TV, flagship Spanish talent show “Operación Triunfo,” produced by Banijay Iberia’s Gestmusic, has jumped successfully to the online environment via Prime Video.
“Operación Triunfo’s” first gala was the most viewed premiere in the history of Prime Video in Spain. Its app for voting accumulated 53 million votes and, on social networks, generated 718.9 million views in TikTok and YouTube, according to VOD analytics Sigmados30.
Since 2021, when Netflix teamed with Grupo iZen to launch “Insiders,” the streamer’s first Spanish Original reality show, the demand of unscripted content on the online platforms has been progressively increasing.
“Entertainment can be more cost effective for streamers than producing fiction,” argues iZen president Jose Velasco, who years ago produced the Spanish version of “Big Brother.”
“On part of the streamers this has also been an effect of shifting their focus. Now, entertainment and documentaries are new ways to attract the...

“I have worked for Cher. I was a bellman at the Oakland Hilton Hotel,” he began, prompting a surprised “No” from the ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ singer, 77, reports People magazine.

It is so common to hear actors say they had a blast filming a movie that you're allowed to be cynical when they talk about how the cast became like a family. The big exception, of course, is the "Mamma Mia" movies. Every scene from the "Mamma Mia" movies exudes fun. Sure, they are not the most visually vibrant, and the scripts have the complexity of a paper airplane. That being said, it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement, the dancing, the burning passion exuding from Cher and Andy Garcia singing "Fernando."

The once-and-future pop queen Debbie Gibson goes for a classic Seventies disco trip in her excellent new video for “Love Don’t Care.” It’s part of a triumphant musical rebirth for the “Electric Youth” legend, getting her mirrorball groove on with a very Cher flamboyance. “Love Don’t Care” is a dance banger from her 2021 comeback album, The Body Remembers, with a wide-open inclusive spirit. It’s a message that love isn’t restricted by boundaries of gender, age, race, or sexuality. It’s also proof that Debbie’s electric youth is timeless.
