Afonso é uma Brazza

Afonso Brazza became a fireman for the love of the profession. He became a film director and actor for the same reason. Brazza became one of the most original directors of Brazilian cinema. He died at age 48, the victim of cancer. The documentary material was filmed before his death and shows our hero fighting fires in real life and fictional villains. Brazza was a dreamer. His story entertains and thrills.

Directed by Naji Sidki, James Gama, Afonso é uma Brazza leans on a strong ensemble — Affonso Brazza, Claudete Joubert, José Mojica Marins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2015.
