Kurt really brings you with on a trip, meets and interacts with locals, strolls through the streets, visits homes and you just really get a good impression of the life in such incredibly dangerous and normally completely inaccessible areas of the world. It is because nobody dares to expose himself to such dangers, and is not able to look at everything from another perspective, that there is comparatively nobody like him.

Just like there are 5 million white people in Africa because of former colonies.

Maybe he's just a relative, of someone high-up. Kurt, was dapping everyone up, showing nothing but respect to everyone he met. He also put his head down, everytime he was asked to. You have to give respect to get respect. I get the feeling that this video was made due to that kind of mutual respect being established before hand. This didn't come across as a propaganda piece at all. More of a really honest "check out my neighborhood" this is where I'm from, and what it's like video.

It's just not how it works man, Pablo had no connections or nothing crazy, he was just respectful and not dumb. As he said, it's a community, and respect and boundaries go a long way. If you are born there or known by the community you are treated with respect, most of the times. But it's still a sort of a complicated situation, because the gang members (bandidos) are still cruel and unfair sometimes, but they still help the community a lot, sometimes too, people get caught in the middle of things and get treated as hostages, just like they did (especially in occasions where there is a fight or invasion going on). An example of that, is when a person who is not from that "favela" or area drives in a danger zone by accident or not knowing the correct entrance protocol (especially when there is a fight or invasion going on). They're probably going to get shot at. Favelas are the biggest communities in Brasil (they're small cities), things run a lot different here from other places around the world.

From approx 17 mins in was some of the most raw unfiltered filming of what goes on areas such as this. The contrast of the tranquil blue skies with the happy smiling people against gunshots echoing in the background is a powerful juxtaposition. Great work Kurt, and my best wishes for all who live there 🙏

take a second to recognize that kurts fade is nice! That barber did a good job.

this channel is basically a documentary channel in disguise. these videos are amazing

[@Spookyxoxo]

I'm so happy that I recently came across your channel. What you do is amazing & showing people adventures with locals in these areas not many are brave enough to go to is real dedication. Your local friend in this video did an awesome job making sure you were as safe as possible by letting you know the real dangers in his area.

I have so much respect for Kurt not only as a KZbinr, but as a man. The content he brings is like no other showing the reality the people in these war torn countries face. I appreciate him for how genuine he is. This man has sum balls of steel coming to the most dangerous parts of these countries. His platform is so unique in that he not only entertains us, but shows us the reality the people in these countries face. Stay safe out their Kurt💯

Found this channel 1 week ago and been addicted ever since. Kurts a complete badass and you can tell he knows how to handle any situation. Also after watching him wrestle a friend on the beach he’s certainly kick ass qualified.

Dude, you went from gunshots to drinking wine in a strangers kitchen in a few moments, your experiences are amazing. I love what you do.

I'm about 5km away from this place. I can asure to you guys this content is legit. This is Rio if you have only seen it on the Olympics. Amazing content, thanks for showing how good and friendly our people is, even though our reality fuck us up in many diferent ways. I've lived in a favela and I still live really close to one. Most part of people here have no peace in everyday life. But we still manage to be optimistic and happy.

Thank you for showing us what 95% of the 'Western civilization' has never seen before. Respect for the 2 guides who took time to introduce/explain/show the beautiful country.

Acredito que muito de vocês, digo "estrangeiros" ... Não tem noção, de quanto o Brasil é grande e existem cidades tão seguras e modernas, como na Europa por exemplo. Agora, muito de vocês, assistem esse tipo de vídeo, feito por um turista louco, dentro de uma comunidade do Rio de Janeiro, e que para muitos dos telespectadores acham que o Brasil inteiro, se resume a isso: "Tiroteio, carnaval, favelas e mulher?" Bem... Onde eu moro, eu saio nas ruas, até mesmo 3:00am da madrugada, quando não tem uma alma viva sabe... E adivinha?! A probabilidade de acontecer algo ruim, tomar um tiro de bala perdida ou mesmo assaltado, é de 0,9%. (Tive como base, a taxa de furtos que houve nos últimos meses para chegar nesse cálculo.) Agora, uma coisa que vocês devem saber para agregar ao assunto, eu moro eu um bairro de periferia, chamado de "extremo leste", do mapa da cidade... Isso quer dizer, que o nosso bairro ainda está em desenvolvimento, muito das casas, ainda não conseguiram terminar suas obras de construção, deixando o bairro ainda aparentemente mediano. Para finalizar, vou deixar uma informação de relevância. O Brasil é dividido em 27 estados, somados quase 6 mil municípios, e cada munício as vezes com mais de 6 cidades. Então, se vocês querem ver o lado tranquilo do BRASIL, com um aspecto bonito, limpo, seguro, ótima culinária(sem menosprezar os outros lugares), com lindas moradias e estruturas urbanas. Aconselho te, viajar para o Sul do País. Aos que tem preferência pelo Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, cidades, com muita urbanização, vocês sempre encontrarão áreas com mais precariedade e violência. A tendência da mesma, é popular e expandir, enquanto o desenvolvimento, pode ser mais mais expressivo em áreas mais próximas do centro da cidade; enquanto os bairros e lugares que estão mais afastados do "centro", aparentemente ficam esquecidos pelos seus governantes, pois falta muita obra de saneamento, engenharia de trânsito, e outros fatores que nem preciso mencionar. "Esses caras", tem se dedicado mais, a bairros, de pessoas com poder aquisitivo maior; ou seja, os ricos... A parte mais precária, o pobre, "que se fuc*".

Kurt you're a legend! Your content always flows and doesn't feel like a chore to watch. I hope to see you at 1 million soon! Edit: After watching the full video, I must say that I appreciate the light you shed on other peoples living situation. Pablo is very full of life even though he is surrounded by gangs and violence on a daily basis.
