Something in the Air (Portuguese: Uma Onda no Ar) is a 2002 Brazilian drama film directed by Helvécio Ratton.[5] It is based on the actual history about Rádio Favela, a community radio broadcaster established in Aglomerado da Serra, a favela of Belo Horizonte in the 1980s. It shows how it was persecuted by the police while four friends try to keep the radio. Alexandre Moreno, Adolfo Moura, Babu Santana and Benjamim Abras were chosen to star the film after 3,000 people tried for their roles.[6] It was shot in Aglomerado da Serra and used about 300 of the local people as extras.[2]
