Based on the book by Denise Parana, Lula, Son of Brazil is a richly produced, deeply moving story of the early years of Brazil's most beloved president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Not to be construed as a film about a politician, or a president, this is more to the point an incredible story of perseverance, family, love, honor, resilience, heroism... a story so fantastic, that it could work as fiction.
