I Spent a Day in Brazil's Most Dangerous Slum

[@drewbinsky]

This story was a lot harder to shoot than I made it appear - we really had to battle confrontation with the “bad guys” every single moment that I had my gopro out on the streets. But in the end, I am really happy with this story because I think it gives a unique look into the street life culture and amazing people of São Paulo!! Thanks for watching - you guys are amazing for supporting my channel all of these years!! If you haven’t heard the news yet, I just launched my first book called JUST GO and I’m currently on a 10-city book tour!! The Berlin and LA events are done, but if you’ll be in SF, Seattle, Phoenix, Austin, Chicago, Miami, NYC, or Manila in the coming 10 days, then please RSVP on this link!

Drew, it is actually 16% of population that lives in favelas in São Paulo, and not 1/3. Regardless of that, I am very happy you visited my country. Thank you, I've been watching you for years.

[@jalexsilva8162]

As a Brazilian I still don't know why every single foreigner when visits Brazil go direct to the favelas. Our contry is so beautiful, so many cultures and landscapes.

[@Skyeelik]

It can be cool, and extremely violent, I lived in one, and there were always threats and fights about drugs, factions, etc... you always have to worry about shootings, robberies and threats, You also have to know how to live in a favela​@@DefensisIndus

[@Jean-vp1yr]

I’m from the Dominican Republic and as a foreigner myself, I think I can answer this question, it’s because of the media, every time we hear something about Brazil, it’s either because something crazy happened or it’s something related to the carnival in Rio, so unfortunately the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Brazil, it’s dangerous hoods and half nak’d women dancing around, you should do the same the Colombians are doing, back in the 80’s and 90’s and maybe into the early 2000’s Colombia was perceived as a war torn country run by drug lords, but they have managed to change that perception with their tourism in Medellin and Bogota. Mas sim, eu concordo com você, o Brasil é gigantesco e tem muita coisa pra oferecer não só favelas, eu adoro a cultura de vocês, tenho amizades no estado de Bahia, gostaria de poder visitar algum dia.

Esse vídeo tem muitas informações erradas. Começando pelo exército entrando na favela do Rio e os tiroteios de gangues que provavelmente se passam no Rio tbm. Paraisópolis é uma das favelas mais tranquilas de São Paulo. Fiquei bastante triste com esse vídeo, cheio de clickbates e preconceitos. Para um viajante tão experiente como o Drew, eu realmente esperava uma visão menos preconceituosa e mais honesta.

[@bernardospinelli5588]

a questão dos clickbaits realmente é patética e infelizmente parece ser uma praga difícil de erradicar do youtube, mas achei que o cara começou realmente cheio dos preconceitos e clichês e se desarmou genuinamente com o decorrer do episódio, que foi bem surpreendente

[@odaraketu]

Irmao é a visao dele, no pais dele voce nao ve um cachorro na rua, nao tem uma viela, ele nao ve uma casa sem acabamento, nem moto tem na rua direito, chega aqui, é tudo apertadado, um vivendo em cima do outro, sujeira, barulho, vai na casa do carinha, cheio de droga na mesa, não é preconceito, é o conceito dele mesmo. Nós do Brasil estamos acostumados a sobreviver nisto e achamos isto normal, é uma idiotice. O rapaz fala "a nao pagamos luz nem agua e nao sei porque", ele nao paga, mas alguem esta pagando, se sendo furtada, ou corretamente ligada, mas sem tarifa, alguem paga, nenhuma empresa perde.

Como brasileiro, sinto-me no direito de considerar alguns pontos, apesar da grandiosidade, essa favela não é nem de longe a mais perigosa do Brasil, volte, vá ao Rio de Janeiro e descubra quais são as comunidades realmente perigosas do Brasil. Não nego que Paraisópolis não é um lugar muito seguro, mas não é tão perigoso assim, até mesmo se compararmos com outras favelas e até mesmo certos bairros da capital Paulista, é capaz dela tornar-se um lugar bem frequentável.

[@dianamaria1777]

I’m impressed by how foreigners just love to come to Brazil just to film a favela and get some clickbait with titles like “just visited THE SUPER DANGEROUS slum in Brazil” lol then they act as if it was so weird that people don’t like to be filmed? I mean, people are living their lives normally and suddenly there is a stranger with a camera, people will obviously look. It’s also fake that 1/3 of the population lives in slums, it’s not even 10% but of course gringos need to use sensationalism to get views

Sao Paulo is waaay safer than you portray. It has about 12 million inhabitants and in 2023 had 481 homicides -- the states of North Carolina and Georgia (both with about 11 million inhabitants) had 821 and 909 homicides respectively. If it were in the United States it would rank as one of the lowest murder rates among large cities. I agree though that it is dangerous due to property theft and armed robberies.

[@Moglissaurrous]

It's disappointing to see yet another portrayal of São Paulo that focuses only on its challenges and perpetuates the stereotype of a dangerous and unwelcoming city. Drew's video falls into the same trap as much of the mainstream media, offering a one-dimensional view that ignores the rich and multifaceted history of São Paulo. São Paulo is a city built on the dreams and labor of immigrants from around the world. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, waves of Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Middle Eastern immigrants, among others, made São Paulo their home, contributing to its dynamic cultural fabric. Today, this vibrant blend is evident in the city's diverse neighborhoods, festivals, and culinary scene. Moreover, São Paulo has a storied past that includes significant contributions to Brazil's economic and cultural development. It is the heart of Brazil's financial industry, housing the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3), and is a hub for innovation and creativity in sectors ranging from technology to fashion. The city is also renowned for its cultural institutions, such as the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), the Latin American Memorial, and Ibirapuera Park, designed by the legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer. While it is crucial to address and acknowledge the issues the city faces, it's equally important to recognize its resilience, its role as a melting pot of cultures, and its contributions to Brazil's identity. By focusing solely on the negatives, Drew misses the opportunity to present a more balanced and nuanced view of São Paulo, one that celebrates its complexity and spirit.

This is the Drew Binsky style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, taking risks in conflict areas to tell a powerful story.. Keep up the amazing work, Drew! 👏👏👏 May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deal, such as centuries-long global Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤷

Yeah, and São Paulo isn't even remotely close to being the most dangerous city in the Americas. The homicide rate in São Paulo is fairly low, it's about the same as NYC's. Muggings and pickpocketing are an issue in some areas, but still, it's not as bad as a lot of other big cities on the continent.

Drew , great video. One interesting fact that you might not be aware of , is that São Paulo has the largest Japanese Population outside of Japan. It is at Liberdade district. I think you should definitely check it out! A lot of them are from Okinawa and I believe you made a video about Okinawa Japan a year ago.

[@neri5232]

Exactly that, I'm from São Paulo and it's reality, there is the Japanese neighborhood Liberdade

[@fernandosampaio3429]

O cara colocando imagens de operações policiais do Brasil todo, menos de São Paulo rs. Gostei do vídeo por causa das pessoas. Conheci um rapaz que mora em Paraisópolis e ele me disse que lá não é perigoso. Ja vi tanta reportagem desse lugar. Aí tb tem musicos que tocam na orquestra municipal de São Paulo, pelo menos tinha, na época da reportagem.

I am Brazilian and I happy you visit the Brazil 🇧🇷

9:46 “It’s not dangerous” 10 seconds later….”don’t point your camera at that gangster right outside my apartment”

[@lucianofreaza302]

Hahahahaha!!! I´m from Brazil and those places are like that: Drug lords control the territory and they don´t like when you take pictures of them or film their soldiers. But also they don´t allow petty crimes in the area like pickpoqueting or more serious crimes like r@pes. In some areas, a violent wife-beater would be in trouble after a talk with the drug dealers if he doesn´t change his behavior. They need to keep the place safe or otherwise the police will make incursions in their area what leads to confrontation.Also, users don´t buy drugs in a place that´s having constant fire exchanges between drug dealers and the police. Cheers from Brazil.

[@kristoferkrus]

That street party seemed wild! I'm so fascinated by places like this, and props to you for trying out all the places other people are too afraid to go to; they always seem to surprise you positively which is very interesting, and a testimony to the fact that going outside of your comfort zone usually isn't as bad as you imagine it to be.

[@drewbinsky]

agree! That's why i do it!

[@HPamarthy]

Well, I had been to Favelas in the North East Brazilian cities like Fortaleza and Recife but never in Sao Paolo, though I did visit that city and Rio de Janeiro too. Requires guts and tonnes of luck to get back! Kudos to you Drew Binsky!👏👏👏👍

Drew being shocked by people passed on the streets made me laugh so hard. When the hell was the last time you were in Seattle, Drew? Come to your own cities, they're more dangerous than this one is. Tent cities and Fentanyl in the USA is insanely scary.

He’s not shocked by it, just documenting what he sees.

[@kittykat490]

My home city in the US is considered generally "dangerous," and especially "dangerous" in certain neighborhoods, so I really get the dichotomy of locals saying they don't feel in danger but also cautioning you a lot. And when I've talked to other people from places that have a "dangerous" reputation it's the same feeling: On one hand, for the locals who go through daily life there, it's just a place where people live, and if you know how to carry yourself and go about daily life in a normal and calm way it isn't that dangerous. On the other hand you have to understand when you're vulnerable because you're clearly out of place. In my home city the level of crime is VERY rarely random violent crime, most of the random crime is petty, and most of the violent crime is very specific, i.e. interpersonal and/or gang related, so I don't think you're in much danger as just a random person living there, but at the same time you will put yourself in the way of unwanted attention and conflict if you walk around looking scared or confused or high energy or flashy in some way. So the understanding of how a place can be both is really obvious to me, everything is subjective. The guy saying that perception comes from racism and classism is so real.

[@deborahgibson1609]

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

Also, Rio is more dangerous than São Paulo (from what I know/hear). I think THAT may be the actual 'most dangerous city in the Americas'. I know you can get mugged just walking down the beachfront there - or even just sitting ON the beach. If you went there, you would have probably had your camera stolen.

[@bruxolocodek9]

Guys, I'm Brazilian and favelas are very dangerous, or do you really think that 3 translators refused because they didn't want to go there? The truth is in Brazil the values ​​are all the opposite, where being a criminal is the reference. The reason you can't record in the favelas is because there are hundreds of fugitives and people with guns walking freely through the streets. Some things are true but others are not, the boy said that the place is safe and yes, in parts it is, that's because if you are caught stealing inside the favela, the traffickers will kill you, record you and you’ll an example. But he didn't say that 100 meters from this place everything is free. The entire favela is taken over by the drug trafficking that takes place inside and outside it. Most residents don't admit that it's hell to live there, but when they have the chance to leave, they leave. I dont speak english so sorry for my bad english.

How come the girl said that she can walk at 3am and it is perfectly safe for her?

As a brazilian from SP, after watching this video, I don’t believe in anything else that this guy says… and take my dislike

[@inulahmusic]

Im curious, why you have this opinion. Is it because the docu is only focused on the negative?

@@inulahmusic no, It’s because the video has several untrue affirmations. in addition there are many scenes that are not from São Paulo.

@drewbinsky I'm sorry, but you need to visit Brazil again and really discover how is our country. Your video gave a wrong message to the world about Brazil. We are more than favelas or Amazônia. Brazil is multicultural and a huge country. We have more to share about us. If you wanna show something about Brazil, you need to talk about our diversity. Brazil is DIVERSITY...
