Dzi Croquettes, 2009
Portuguese with English Subtitles
This a documentary film that tells the story of the "Dzi Croquettes" which was an all-male theater group that challenged Brazil's repressive dictatorship. And to show their appreciation, the Brazilian people have taken up the group as their freedom fighters on stage. The many personalities who are interviewed add an element of spice to this already fully-charged story. Between the great music, great history, and absolute use of color, the film leads the way as one of the most fascinating films coming out of South America. The Brazilian community has recognized this because the film has won top honors at Rio and Sao Paolo international film festivals, as well as the top honor at the Mix Brasil (LGBT) film festival.
