During the 80's, brazilians were living under a dictatorship. Some players of the soccer club Corinthians, from São Paulo, begins a new form of managing the team, always using polling to decide everything.
"Who said that sports and politics aren't connected? Players Socrates, Casagrande, and Vladimir showed in the 1980s that the two topics can be intimately linked. After all, the trio led the so-called 'Democracia Corinthiana', a movement that gave strength to the public outcry against the Military Dictatorship and managed to create a movement both inside and outside of the fields. In 'Democracia em Preto e Branco', filmmaker Pedro Asbeg employs a delightful narration by Rita Lee to delve a bit deeper into this story and how a soccer player can take his influence beyond his own fanbase. Thus, even though the documentary is a gift to the Corinthians fanbase, 'Democracia em Preto e Branco' is an example of how teams, when united, can help to change the situation of a country."
