Hello, Hello, Terezinha!

Hello, Hello, Terezinha! is a feature-length documentary about the country's biggest communication phenomenon. Politically incorrect, radical, renewing, Chacrinha changed Brazilian television forever and expressed a Brazil that was around it, but was not perceived. The film tells the great adventure of Abelardo Barbosa through the eyes of the presenter. It gathers the nuclei of its constellation - chacretes, fledglings and artists who passed through its programs - to identify their individualities and their emotions.

Directed by Nelson Hoineff, Hello, Hello, Terezinha! leans on a strong ensemble — Chacrinha, Rita Cadillac, Gretchen — 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 documentary titles of 2009.
