Simply A Masterpiece

Fantastic!

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Wonderfully done, in capturing the emotions of those who survived and those who lost loved ones. More than just a game, but that these were fellow humans! Great job to the producers of this film and all involved.

Great time to release this. I remember when it happened. I remember the coverage. It's so easy to remove yourself from the reality that these professional players even from smaller clubs are still human. So this is a great reminder that they are just as human as we are. Thank you to the creators of this documentary and Fox for premiering it.

Nossa Chape ("Our team") was warmly received at this world premiere at Austin SXSW Film Festival. It is a beautiful and powerful film about how a community rebuilds after a horrific tragedy. It tells the story of what happened in Chapeco, Brazil after their beloved Chapecoense football team - soccer for us American gringos - is nearly wiped out in a plane crash that kills 71 players including most of the players, coaches and administrators. The team is at the center of the community and its tragedy is communal. The film provides an inside look at the process of how a team and a community both grieve an unfathomable tragedy and simultaneously try to move forward. Change must be balanced with honoring those who have been lost. This is not just a sports documentary; it is very deeply human story that everyone who has grieved can relate to. It is eloquent and inspiring. The story is beautifully and intimately told. Highly recommended.
