everything you have heard about this movie is true.
View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreWonderfully done, in capturing the emotions of those who survived and those who lost loved ones. More than just a game, but that these were fellow humans! Great job to the producers of this film and all involved.
View MoreGreat time to release this. I remember when it happened. I remember the coverage. It's so easy to remove yourself from the reality that these professional players even from smaller clubs are still human. So this is a great reminder that they are just as human as we are. Thank you to the creators of this documentary and Fox for premiering it.
View MoreNossa Chape ("Our team") was warmly received at this world premiere at Austin SXSW Film Festival. It is a beautiful and powerful film about how a community rebuilds after a horrific tragedy. It tells the story of what happened in Chapeco, Brazil after their beloved Chapecoense football team - soccer for us American gringos - is nearly wiped out in a plane crash that kills 71 players including most of the players, coaches and administrators. The team is at the center of the community and its tragedy is communal. The film provides an inside look at the process of how a team and a community both grieve an unfathomable tragedy and simultaneously try to move forward. Change must be balanced with honoring those who have been lost. This is not just a sports documentary; it is very deeply human story that everyone who has grieved can relate to. It is eloquent and inspiring. The story is beautifully and intimately told. Highly recommended.
