Manuel Francisco dos Santos, nicknamed Mané Garrincha, but best known as Garrincha ("little bird"), was one of the greatest Brazilian soccer players of all time, and perhaps the sport's most famous dribbler. This acclaimed documentary, produced at the zenith of his career, explores his unique ability to enchant fans with his Chaplinesque personality, bow legs, and talent for surprising opponents.

The debut feature from writer/director Joaquim Pedro de Andrade and a landmark film of the Brazilian Cinema Novo movement, GARRINCHA, THE PEOPLE'S JOY was nominated for the Berlinale Golden Bear and is considered one of the greatest films about soccer ever made.
