SYNOPSIS
In 2008, Rio de Janeiro decided to demolish the left side of Rua Itajubara where my parents and I lived in a favela. Like many, we had to leave our home. Ultimately, nothing was rebuilt. Sixteen years later, I return to Itajubara to understand a double scar: the one the state inflicted on my street and the one that has yet to heal between my parents and me.
