In commemoration of the Bicentennial of Independence of Brazil, the solemn avant-première screening that will host the imperial heir and special guests, anticipates a full program of premiere events later in the month. The film tells the story of Emperor Dom Pedro I and Princess Dona Maria Leopoldina in the historic months of August and September 1822, leading to the declaration of Independence of Brazil on the 7th of September 1822 with Dom Pedro's extraordinary Grito de Ipiranga, "Independence or death!"
Starring as Emperatiz Leopoldina and Dom Pedro, Júlia Zanatta and André Kirmayr fill the main roles, with music authored by Dom Pedro I himself and by the film's director, Composer Malcolm Forest.
“They had music in common...They had the Fatherland in common...Together, they made Brazil's Independence,” begins the documentary which depicts the important dates and events that form the intangible patrimony of the creation of Brazil, retracing the beautiful locations and historic places where the then-Prince stayed in Rio de Janeiro, the Paraiba Valley, in Minas Gerais, and in Sao Paulo. It is the glorious and heroic beginning of an independent Brazil.
