Forever Chape
In 2016, a team enchanted Brazil. Few years after being promoted to the first division of the Brazilian Championship, Chapecoense was going to compete in their first international tournament final against Atlético Nacional from Colombia for the South American Cup. Unfortunately, tragedy struck: the plane carrying the team to Medellín crashed, killing 71 people among directors, players, coaching staff, and journalists. This documentary, directed by Luis Ara, had its controversy behind the scenes since it was produced without the initial consent of the victims' families. Nevertheless, it has its value when telling the story of the victims and the six survivors, which should never be forgotten.
Brasil 2002: Os Bastidores do Penta
The conquest of Brazil's fifth World Cup in Japan and South Korea in 2002 marked a generation. After 20 years, this Netflix documentary returns to those events, including behind-the-scenes footage and fun interviews with the protagonists of that conquest, such as Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Cafu and Denilson. For those who followed the entire tournament, there is that pleasant feeling of nostalgia. For the generations that came after (and there are many people in them!), it is the opportunity to feel what the atmosphere in Brazil was like in 2002, full of optimism and the feeling that we were not only the country of football, but also of the future - and beloved by the whole world. Good times.
