City of God (Portuguese: Cidade de Deus) is a 2002 Brazilian crime drama film directed by
Fernando Meirelles and co-directed by Kátia Lund, released in its home country in 2002 and
worldwide in 2003. The story was adapted by Bráulio Mantovani from the 1997 novel of the
same name written by Paulo Lins, but the plot is loosely based on real events. It depicts the
growth of organized crime in the Cidade de Deus suburb of Rio de Janeiro, between the end
of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1980s, with the closure of the film depicting the war
between the drug dealer Li'l Zé and criminal Knockout Ned. The tagline is "If you run, the
beast catches; if you stay, the beast eats", (a proverb analogous to the English "Damned if
you do, damned if you don't").
