Lula, Filho do Brasil is a biographical movie about former Brazilian President Luis In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva. The movie starts with Lula’s birth in Pernambuco and follows his life as a child and adult in S\u00e3o Paulo. Though the movie came out in Brazil in 2010, it is now being released in the United States this week. There are a few reviews out already – read The New York Times review<\/a>, and NPR’s take<\/a> on the film.<\/p>\n

Back in 2009 before the film’s January 1, 2010 release, Bravo Magazine<\/a> wrote this brief summary of the movie:<\/p>\n

A hist\u00f3ria come\u00e7a no semi-\u00e1rido pernambucano com o nascimento do menino Luiz In\u00e1cio da Silva, um dos filhos de Dona Lindu (Gl\u00f3ria Pires), e acompanha a trajet\u00f3ria da fam\u00edlia at\u00e9 sua chegada a S\u00e3o Bernardo do Campo, onde Lula torna-se o principal l\u00edder sindical do Brasil. E termina com a morte de Dona Lindu em 1980, ano da funda\u00e7\u00e3o do PT. Entre o nascimento do futuro presidente e a morte da m\u00e3e, Lula cresce, torna-se torneiro mec\u00e2nico, conhece sua primeira mulher, Lurdes (Cl\u00e9o Pires), que morre de parto, entra no sindicado dos metal\u00fargicos do ABC, conhece sua segunda e atual mulher, a tamb\u00e9m vi\u00fava Marisa Let\u00edcia (Juliana Baroni), op\u00f5e-se \u00e0 ditadura e acaba preso no Departamento de Ordem Pol\u00edtica e Social, o Dops, de onde sai apenas para acompanhar o enterro da m\u00e3e.<\/em><\/p>\n
