The 2002 – City of God (film) by Fernando Meirelles, Brazil is a good example of a docufiction film. It is based on a true story, adapted by Bráulio Mantovani from the 1997 novel of the same name written by Paulo Lins.
This film documents the life of different characters in the 'city of God', narrated by 'Rocket'. It shows the war between two gangs, and gives us an insight from both sides. I thought this film was well done, and even though it was in "subtitles", it was easy to follow.
