Cracolândia, Boca do Lixo, downtown São Paulo. Walking through the damp, dirty streets of this territory, shopkeeper Nise Rocha reveals a lesser-known reality, showing that the people who live there are far more than the usual stereotypes of drug users, dealers, and police. Featuring testimonies from residents, artists, and local agents, Listening to the Territory gives voice to the intense human relationships and the complex context of those living on the margins of society—people whom few are willing to listen to.
