THE PASSION. THE POVERTY. THE DREAMS.
The story of Brazil's obsession with the beautiful game and its stars. Since 1958, Brazil has dominated world football through a style based on outrageous skill and amazing ball control. They have won the World Cup a record five times, and with legendary players such as Didi, Zizinho, Garrincha, Pele, Tostao, Romario, Zico, Ronaldo and Ronaldhino, (many of whom are interviewed here) taken international football to unequalled heights. As Tostao explains, Brazil's inability to be world power makes it imperative they achieve dominance through football. In these three riveting documentaries, we see how Brazilian football works.
Disc one concentrates on three hopeful youngsters desperate to play football at professional level. Disc two reveals the lives lead by two established players, and Disc three examines what happens when the playing career finishes. Together, these films provide a forceful insight into Brazilian football culture and brilliantly reveal the forces that continue to make Brazil the best team in the world.
Includes an additional bonus disc of completely edited interviews with the legends of Brazilian football: ZEZE MOREIRA & AYMORE MOREIRA, ZIZINHO, DIDI, TOSTAO, ZICO & PELE.
