Imagine a pornographic film set in the Rio de Janeiro favela of Vigário Geral, with a clone of Michael Jackson and three women without any glamor, seeing it in a shack falling apart. Can you imagine? Ask your rental store for the tape ‘‘ The Sexual Adventures of Mike Jackson ’’, by Gregório de Mattos, and you will have the opportunity to see that the above description is not far from the truth. Just as the North American filmmaker Spike Lee had to obtain authorization from drug dealers from Morro Dona Marta (south zone of Rio de Janeiro) to record a clip with Michael Jackson, he had the prior approval of Vigário Geral's "sheriff" (northern zone) to shoot " Mike Jackson's Sexual Adventures ".
