One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
The story of a little boy named Edson, from a small Brazilian city, who decides to overcome all limits imposed by racism to become the first black man to be a global icon, known and loved by all humanity.
"Before Pelé there was Little Gasoline, the young boy with ball skills who played in the streets of Bauru. This independent, short film (only 43 minutes) tells the first steps of Edson Arantes do Nascimento in the world of soccer - all this mixing historical records and reenactments. It will certainly please the fans of the King of Soccer, Santos supporters and admirers of the old art of football."
