After a disastrous campaign in the 2004 national championship, Gremio - 2 time Brazilian Champion, 2 Time South American Champion, 1983 World Champion, 4-time winner of the Brazil Cup - had to play the 2nd division in 2005. After struggling throughout the 7 months, the team's fate boiled out to the last match, at the Northeastern city of Recife, against a club with a large crowd of supporters, and accustomed to moving up and down the 1st and 2nd division.
What happened was a sports epic. Something stranger than fiction
The documentary is very one-sided. The target audience is Gremio supporters. But boy, do they get what they are looking for. If you are a "gremista", enjoy! If you are not, you should become one during this 70 minutes in order to enjoy this documentary. But it should not be hard. The feeling of triumph is pretty contagious.
