In Brazil only 30% of ex-convicts stay on the right track after being released. Luckily, 36 year-old Gilson is one of them. In his birthplace Santa Marta, Rio de Janeiro, the uprising Favela tourism gave him a chance to start over. He now runs his own business and gives curious tourist a tour through his - increasingly becoming safer - neighbourhood.

vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.
