    A Must!!!

    Amazing!!!! One of the best films I've seen!!!! Beautiful and very well done! It showcases to the world the importance of this group in changing Brazilian History and a whole society...The Dzi Croquettes challenged the brutal Dictatorship that gripped Brazil in the 70's through humor… dressed as women although not behaving as such… they used Intelligence to fight the government! The director's personal attachment to the project, her father used to work in the technical staff, was endearing and touching… featuring interviews with Liza Minnelli, Gilberto Gil, Marília Pêra, Miguel Falabella, Cláudia Raia, Cesar Camargo Mariano, among many others important names in Brazilian culture...Dzi Croquettes is a Must!! Nor man nor woman, people!
