Naomi Wallace wrote “Slaughter City” in 1996. Her play shined a light on the terrible working conditions that are still going on even in today’s society. “Slaughter City” documents the workers of a slaughterhouse (set in the now and then) and their struggle to survive the despicable working conditions‚ class disparities and discrimination of race and gender.

City Of God The film that I chose to watch and analyze is the Brazilian film City of God. The movie takes place in one of Rio de Janeiro’s 500 favelas‚ a favela known as the City of God.
