August 24, 2010 | 2:38 PM Posted by: TopBananas I'm old fashioned so I gotta wait for the DVD. I need that physical copy.

August 24, 2010 | 4:02 PM Posted by: SamyXXY from France Is there any subtitles ? I rather like a DVD edition too, so I can see it with or without subtitles.But If you got any way to had choice about that, I would go for digital. all the best ;)

August 24, 2010 | 8:26 PM Posted by: Ray Absolutely fantastic that you've released it cheaply priced as a digital download! Every movie and docu should be released like this. I've bought it and seen it, absolutely great!! Interesting, raw, funny etc.. Sound was off for a few periods of time only on one speaker, and there were a few glitches. Could be the download, but since it's in a zip not likely, I'd check it..

August 25, 2010 | 1:50 AM Posted by: NONE ONE @RAY I had the same problem. i thought it was just my headphones. great film though!! i hope its the first of many...

August 27, 2010 | 2:17 PM Posted by: Clash Sounds yea 9 to 22 minutes the sound is only on one channel. Glad I wasn't going crazy.

August 27, 2010 | 4:40 PM Posted by: girlWHAAT Seriously ought to release a compilation/soundtrack of the featured MCs, we would all pay for that. Thank you for exposing epic favela culture on a global scale, the world needs more baile funk in all spectrums.

September 02, 2010 | 11:58 AM Posted by: download issues Having download issues; it only downloaded a small portion of the film (120 MBout of 1.6 GB total), and then the file wouldn't unzip, giving me the error "Error 1 - Operation Not Permitted." WTF...

September 06, 2010 | 2:31 PM Posted by: danny the track is called opera mix. it's by dj edgar. he's on myspace. hit him up... doesn't seem to be located anywhere else for mass consumption. diplo got that hookup

September 07, 2010 | 8:31 PM Posted by: Niels Where did you find this opera mix tune? Its not on this dj edgar´s myspace.

September 08, 2010 | 8:30 AM Posted by: Ray So it's a fact now, not an individual event. The downloaded movie had fucked up sound, would be great if it was fixed and we could download a fresh copy! There seems no way to contact mad decent..

November 09, 2010 | 11:27 AM Posted by: Alexander How long do you have to wait to get it? Purchased a few hours ago and really wanted to watch it todayyy!
