The Day Cinema Met Santa Rosa dos Dourados (2011)

They had never seen a movie theater. Now, their lives are on the screen.

A documentary that rescues the memories of those who built Santa Rosa dos Dourados, a small rural community in Brazil where cinema lives only in stories told, never seen. People who had never set foot in a movie theater now watch their own stories come to life on the big screen.
