Why watch this film?
Who said that sports and politics aren't connected? Players Socrates, Casagrande, and Vladimir showed in the 1980s that the two topics can be intimately linked. After all, the trio led the so-called 'Democracia Corinthiana', a movement that gave strength to the public outcry against the Military Dictatorship and managed to create a movement both inside and outside of the fields. In 'Democracia em Preto e Branco', filmmaker Pedro Asbeg employs a delightful narration by Rita Lee to delve a bit deeper into this story and how a soccer player can take his influence beyond his own fanbase. Thus, even though the documentary is a gift to the Corinthians fanbase, 'Democracia em Preto e Branco' is an example of how teams, when united, can help to change the situation of a country.
