Dona Marta
Most work done in recent years in Dona Marta was the
construction of a cable car that facilitates the transport
of residents to higher areas of the hill.
Another major change in Dona Marta was the occu-
pation of military force. Since 2008 the slum has no more
drug trafficking in the "bocas de fumo", i.e., points of sale
of drugs.
Dona Marta was the setting for international events
as part of the clip of "They Don’t Care About Us"[1][2] by
Michael Jackson and performed by Bike Downhill MTB of
Redbull and the film Fast Five.
