ABOUT THE FILM:

Short-listed for an Academy Award and nominated for two Emmy Awards, FAVELA RISING documents a man and a movement, a city divided and a favela (Brazilian squatter settlement) united. Haunted by the murders of his family and many of his friends, Anderson Sá is a former drug-trafficker who turns social revolutionary in Rio de Janeiro’s most feared slum. Through hip-hop music, the rhythms of the street, and Afro-Brazilian dance he rallies his community to counteract the violent oppression enforced by teenage drug armies and sustained by corrupt police.

At the dawn of liberation, just as collective mobility is overcoming all odds and Anderson’s grassroots Afro Reggae movement is at the height of its success, a tragic accident threatens to silence the movement forever.

ABOUT THE CATALOG
The Catalog for Giving is an extraordinary organization that identifies, funds and supports small youth-focused grassroots groups in New York City, in this case Art Start, that often lack the kind of fundraising capacity necessary to survive.

GREGG S. FISHER RECEIVES THE CATALOG FOR GIVING IMPACT AWARD
In addition to celebrating Art Start’s courageous children and unique mission, Art Start’s President of the Board, Gregg S. Fisher, Gerstein Fisher’s President and Chief Investment Officer, will be honored this fall with the Catalog for Giving of New York City’s inaugural Impact Award. The Impact Award honors a philanthropist who has made a significant impact in helping deserving kids in our city surmount the many obstacles they face, through charitable involvement that goes above and beyond financial support to effectively leverage the full extent of his or her talent, vision and resources.

SUPPORT
Please support the Art Start youth and honor Gregg Fisher by attending the Catalog for Giving Urban Heroes Benefit or by contributing to Art Start through the Catalog. Every dollar goes directly to Art Start’s programs working with severely at-risk youth in New York City.
