1932: The Forgotten Medal
Directed by Ernesto Rodrigues2017 61m
After struggling to stay in the top 15 positions of the Olympic games in 2016 and being shadowed by the country's history of success in football, Brazil's Olympic legacy doesn't always get the recognition it truly deserves. '1932: A Medalha Esquecida' ('1932: The Forgotten Medal') seeks to partially do justice to this legacy by telling the story of Adalberto Cardoso, a Brazilian sailor who faced more than simple physical challenges for a chance to compete in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, where he earned his 'Iron Man' nickname after finishing the 10,000 metres race. The documentary does so by compiling archive footage with exclusive testimonials and cinematographic reconstructions of historical events.
