Kids fly kites over Rocinha
Kite fighting is one of the most popular after school activities in the community of Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rocinha is built between two mountains called the Two Brothers. The limitation of land between the peaks has resulted in amazing and complex architecture built straight up rather than spreading out. This footage was shot from the roof of the Two Brothers Institute, a non profit education center for youth in the community.
