Dzi Croquettes was a theater group that, through talent, irony and humor, confronted the Brazilian government and its violent dictatorship during the 1970s and 1980s. They were banned and censored by the military regime and yet revolutionized theater and dance language. Their history embraces Brazilian pop culture of the time, the sexual revolution, the beginning of the AIDS era and, above all, the enormous legacy they inspired in every single person that had the opportunity to see their work. They were admired by luminaries such as Liza Minnelli, who became a personal friend and played a major role in bringing them to Paris and subsequently to fame. This documentary received the Jury Award for Best Documentary at Rio International Film Festival and the Audience Award at São Paulo International Film Festival.
