Parts of O Dia em que...: Peace Match
There's nothing better to understand (quickly) a historical event than a (well-done) documentary. That's how
O Dia em que o Brasil Esteve Aqui, by Caio Ortiz and João Dornelas, is. Released in 2006, World Cup year, the movie, 72 minutes long, shows what happened two years before - the visit of the Brazilian Team to Port-au-Prince. The images are epic and are similar, in a certain way, to the Santos voyage to the Congo, in 1968 - the famous occasion when a civil war ceased only for allowing soldiers to watch Pelé and Cia. The movie doesn't reach this level of dramacity but is foundamental to understand what happened before the natural bomb that "exploded" in the island.
