Resumen

En este artículo, el autor analiza el documental Favela Rising, de los directores Matt Mochary y Jeff Zimbalist. La problemática forma como la película presenta al Grupo Cultural AfroReggae –diseñada como una estrategia para transmitir a una audiencia global la cruda realidad de la favela Vigário Geral– da paso a una reflexión acerca de la forma como la agencia cultural y los agentes culturales son evaluados e interpretados.

Palabras clave:
