Maré and Alemão are two of the largest favela complexes in Zona Norte de Rio de Janeiro.
Alemão is home to the Papo Reto journalist collective, an award winning witness partner who are fighting police brutality with smartphones.
In the nearby complex of Maré the photographer Ratao Diniz records the beauty and the pain in stills and video.
In Favela stories some residents of differing ages tell their own histories.
