City of God, one of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. The government isn't interested in that favela. Before it became what it is today, the City of God was nothing more than a refuge. You had nowhere to go? The government told you to "go to the city of God" Over the years, it stopped being a small favela and became larger due to the number of people who arrived. Although like any other favela, City of God was filled with drug traffickers who divided the favela into territories. Although someone had been responsible for killing most of those traffickers, it wasn't the police, of course not. It was Ze pequenho who had quickly acquired a large territory. There was the territory of Ze pequenho and Zanahoria, Ze pequenho had been in charge of killing all the traffickers in every territory of the City of God, except Cenoura's. Because Bene was Cenoura's friend, Ze pequenho forgave and respected his territory. The police do nothing in the city of God, while Ze pequenho pays them, they pretend they don't see anything.

— Everyone is crazy in this favela...

Helena, your friend,' she said calmly. They were both walking home after school, since they lived on the same street. Although there wasn't much danger in the favela since Ze pequenho took over all the territories, leaving only Cenoura's. The only danger was probably Ze pequenho himself.
