A personal documentary about democracy, corruption and dedication
-
A Brazilian election is a battle between the politicians who buy votes and those who don’t.
-
In Rabbit Town the battle is between two rivalling community leaders: Carlos and Clovis.
A personal portrait of two opposing community leaders in the favela of Rabbit Town, Recife, Brazil, the Danish documentary film raises fundamental questions about a democracy torn between ideals and reality.
Following a dirty and dedicated campaign for city government of Recife, Battle of Rabbit Town offers a rare look into the political back alleys of Brazil, where votes are bought for football shirts and favours - and where kindness and corruption are hard to tell apart.
