This episode of LIFE is the story of a group of friends trying to make it in the world's most socially divided society, Brazil. They call themselves “The Posse” and they live in Sao Paulo, in one of Brazil's 2500 favelas or urban slums. The Posse is centered round a rap group whose songs explain the inequalities of life in Brazil today. Its members include school kids, the unemployed, social activists an university students. Beyond the boundaries of favela, the program shows those who live in even worse conditions, in rat-infested city shelters for the homeless, as well as with the new urban elites: lawyers and a young man who has just made millions from an internet company.
