Based on the book O Brasil dos Gringos by Tunico Amancio, this documentary explores the impressions and images of Brazil that have been disseminated by world cinema. Interviews with directors and screenwriters whose films featured Brazilian locations, themes, or even references reveal the stories, motivations, and/or pressures behind the representations. The film includes interviews with Philippe de Broca, Michael Caine, Greydon Clark, Hope Davis, Zalman King and Jon Voight among others.

Lúcia Murat began working on independent productions in the 1980’s after working for mainstream news media in Brazil. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Lúcia Murat was a member of the Brazilian guerrilla resistance during the worst years of the military dictatorship in Brazil (1968-1979).
