Why watch this film?
Pep Guardiola's Barcelona was one of the great revolutions of contemporary football. More than a star-studded roster, with names like Lionel Messi, Xavi and Piqué, the team had an innovative coaching command that privileged ball possession and didn't let the opponent play. It was the apex of the style called "Tiki-Taka", which also influenced the style of the Spanish national team - taking them to an unprecedented World Cup title. All this story is told in this documentary, which brings interviews, technical information, game images and reports from a true football revolution.

Ronaldo, O Fenômeno
Ronaldo Nazário is not only an idol in Brazil, but also around the world. This documentary presents part of his life, focusing on his rise in European football between 1994 and 2002. The former player, who spent much of his adolescence on the pitch, had a career of great achievements - and a lot of drama due to knee problems. 'Ronaldo, The Phenomenon' has the ideal amount of emotion that will leave any Brazilian who follows football goosebumps, as well as great moments of relaxation - showing that it was not only talent that took Ronaldo to the status of a champion, he also has a charm that conquers anyone.

Documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and their struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.
Edita
Edita - Receiving a special mention from the jury at the FICIQQ, Chile, in 2022, this biographical documentary delves into the life of a rebel, feminist and single mother, whose story had been hidden by both her family and official history. It tells the intriguing story of Edita, a Trotskyist woman, Bauhaus student and persecuted by Nazism, in the context of the military dictatorship in Chile during the 1980s.
What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem
A documentary that explores how the internet has progressed from the promise of democratic knowledge and innocent entertainment to a breeding ground for misinformation and even violence that spills over into the real world. The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem traces the path from the social network 4Chan and builds its genealogy up to Facebook and the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States. It doesn't present reflections that aren't obvious to those who have read books or watched other films about the impact of social media, but it's a good starting point to learn about how misinformation works on the internet.
