The hero without character is back. Here, two Macunaímas encounter with one mission in common which is to leave the place they're currently living: one is running away from the deforestation in the Amazon while the other got tired of living in heaven and wants to return to his land.

This entertaining documentary of the World Cup Soccer tournament of 1966 follows the 15 countries competing for the sport's most coveted prize. Nigel Patrick narrates, with commentary provided by Brian Glanville. The executive producer spent $336,000 on the production and used 117 cameras to record nearly 48 hours worth of action. Four editors were employed to created the final 108-minute feature.

Documentary about the most famous dribbler in Brazilian Soccer (some say in Soccer's history!) at the zenith of his career, showing classic scenes of 1958 and 1962 World Cup. Garrincha was a very original and talented player, having curved legs. Women and alcohol were his passion, and the cause of his later decadence. After a glorious career, he died in financial misery, forgotten.

La plus bouillante des villes du plus grand pays de football du monde, le Brésil, ne pouvait se contenter d’une seule rivalité. A Rio, 6,2 millions d’habitants (12 en comptant l’agglomération), entre collines et plages mythiques, quatre clubs se partagent les cœurs, les honneurs et les idoles. Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco de Gama et Botafogo : depuis plus de cent ans, ces quatre monuments s’affrontent, se déchirent et empilent les titres dans les différents championnats qu’ils disputent. Dans l’état de Rio, à l’échelle du pays ou du continent sud- américain. Quatre légendes qui ont connu leurs heures de gloire et leurs lourds moments de déprime. Quatre géants qui ont bâti, chacun à leur tour, la formidable histoire de la Confédération du football brésilien, la seule fédération nationale à avoir remporté cinq fois la coupe du Monde. Une C.B.F., mythe mondial du football, dont le siège est forcément à Rio.

Documentary telling the story of legendary Brazilian footballers Pelé and Garrincha, whose emergence following Brazil's defeat at home in the 1950 World Cup Final heralded the dawn of a golden age of football for the country. But while one man became known as the world's greatest footballer, the other died a broken alcoholic at the age of 49.
