"This movie, originally released in 1997, was directed by French filmmaker Jean-François Richet (who later signed long films such as 'Public Enemy No. 1' or 'Assault on the 13th District'). Outside of France, 'Meu Bairro Vai Rachar' (or 'Ma 6-T va crack-er', its original title) is cult for releasing a contagious energy of rebellion and even a strong political position regarding social and economic inequality, as well as revolt against authority - something for which the French are quite recognized."
