At the time I used to work as a producer and scriptwriter for a local TV channel and I was asked to produce several small stories of the event. <br /> When the event finished we decided to produce a larger piece with all that wonderful material and this is the text I wrote for the documentary. The original version is in Portuguese.<br /> <br /> Perla Copernik<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />  </p><div> </body>
