PRI's The World: 08/11/2016

Today we go into the heart of Rio's most famous favela, called the City of God. The neighborhood was the subject of a 2002 Hollywood movie of the same name, and ever since, it's been synonymous with violence and street crime. However, some young local filmmakers are trying to dispel this clichéd vision of their home. We also hear about a photographer and social scientist who has spent the better part of three decades traveling to Iran and documenting life inside the country. Plus, in Tanzania, women are getting married to other women — but not for the reasons you might think.
