Urban growth following large-scale rural migration especially in the latter half of the twentieth century has exacerbated conditions of extreme socio-economic inequality and social tensions in Brazilian cities. Whilst the themes of segregation and exclusion often dominate discourse surrounding marginalised urban spaces, this article explores the significance of interrelatedness and interconnectivity as mechanisms for dialogue in the films Babilônia 2000 (2000) and Estamira (2004). As documentaries that counterbalance dominant trends in cultural production they also provide a useful lens through which to analyse the power dynamics at work within the filmmaking process and their relation to existing social hierarchies
