From the nineteenth century when Great Britain built the first soccer fields in Brazil to be utilized by English rail engineers to the 1970's World Cup a 100 years of Brazilian history can be summarized by the life of one soccer player. This man was born in a land that received 4.5 million enslaved people from Africa, and also watched the killing of millions of native people. No one would expect that such a country known as an exporter of natural resources like iron and gold would deliver the best soccer player in the world just as the brand new Bossa Nova Jazz, and nascent aircraft industry. Those surprises were represented by Pelé. The dictatorship aided by the North American government tried to control this wave of art and technology renascence but Brazilian people have been unstoppable since then just like Pelé when the right time comes. Great documentary with amazing footage from world cups and Brazil's reality.
