Product Details:
| Besouro charts the astonishing true story of the legendary capoeira fighter Manuel Pereira, who would eventually become the icon Besouro. In 1920, Brazil slavery has been abolished, but in the poor town of Bahia the plantations are still overseen by tyrannical men who hold the local population as slaves. When his capoeira master is murdered by the evil Col Venancio, Besouro wages a one-man war against the might of the colonel’s army and even against death itself. This battle of the poor against the powerful will tear Brazil to it’s very soul and change the course of history forever. |
