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 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 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..
