Video: a reformed drug dealer speaks

Brazilian journalist, Ana Aranha, has produced a video blog of Tia Dag, director of the Brazilian NGO and school, Casa do Zezinho, interviewing one of her ex students, Marcos Lopes, known as Nene.

At the age of 12 Nene ran away and started dealing drugs on the streets but later returned to Casa do Zezinho. Tia Dag talks to him about his experiences of crime before he gave it all up to become a teacher.

Here is a chance to watch part one of Ana’s YouTube video.
