Excellent and Outstanding!
This documentary on Alberto Santos-Dumont the Brazilian aviation pioneer is an excellent work on Santos-Dumont's life as a pioneer of aviation. Santos-Dumont the biggest Brazilian hero after Tiradents (Joaquim José da Silva Xavier) really deserves that documentary on his work as an inventor. 2006 is the year of Santos-Dumont 100th birthday and that documentary came out just in the right time. I love the photography and the historical facts on Santos-Dumont madness to fly. Excellent reproduction of the 14 BIS flight by a Brazilian admirer of Santos. So bad they use a voice with a French accent not with a Brazilian accent. Santos-Dumont mother language was PORTUGUESE not FRENCH. If you don't mind hearing a Brazilian speaking with a FRENCH ACCENT not with a PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE ACCENT you will love this documentary. Excellent!!!!
