O Dia do Galo
O Dia do Galo is a 2014 Brazilian documentary about the 2013 Copa Libertadores Finals. It follows five Atlético Mineiro supporters—a priest, a bar owner, a sports broadcaster, a musician, and a retired worker—on the day of the final in Belo Horizonte, the city where the team is based. Atlético Mineiro won the final in dramatic fashion.
Directed by Cris Azzi, with help from Coletivo Nitro and Alicate Filmes, the project started as a 22-minute online short to inspire fans before the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup and later became a 57-minute feature. The documentary premiered at festivals in 2014 and was released in Brazilian cinemas on 24 July 2015, followed by a Netflix release in December 2015.
The film received positive reviews; critic Pablo Villaça gave it 4 out of 5 stars, noting that it is more about the act of rooting for a team than about the team itself. In 2015 it was one of the most-watched Brazilian films.
