CGiii Comment

A rap girl-band...and all the trials and tribulations of being in one!

It's low-budget, low-talent on both sides of the camera - and, the music - even if you like rap - is an acquired taste.

The(ir) Blurb...

Determined to escape their poverty-stricken lives, four talented young women living on the underprivileged outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil, 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. Until they discover that out of struggle come strength, and out of strength, the courage to continue on.
