Lepanto: O Último Cangaceiro

2017 · 72 min · Documentary

After losing his house for the reconstruction of the London 2012 Olympic Park, Michael is very busy in a campaign of resistance against Olympic games, and accepts the invitation from Enrico to register the narrating voice of a documentary about the Brazilian situation. Michael, in the middle of an existential crisis, leaves to find shelter in the Brazilian culture. While Enrico tries to explain him his vision of a magnificent country invaded by giant events, Marie, his fiancee, reaches him bringing with her more commitments and responsibilities. While learning to become a narrator, Michael progressively abandons his fear of death, and prepares to resist against the Oppressor, becoming the "Ultimo Cangaceiro". Brazil, today like in 1571, is a land to conquer, a prize for a war between two society models: estate and multinational promoters on the one side, housing strength and human rights defenders on the other.
