My Name is Gal

Director: Dandara Ferreira and Lô Politi

Producers: Marcio Fracarolli, André Fracarolli, Veronica Stumpf and Lô Politi.

My name is Gal follows the behind-the-scenes of the brief but effervescent period of Tropicália, the main counterculture movement in Brazil, responsible for the most significant musical and behavioral shifts the country has ever lived through. Gal Costa was the main voice behind Tropicália, but in order to achieve that position, she had to rid herself of a natural shyness that almost kept her from following her dreams. With her natural stage presence, attitude, body language and amazing voice, Gal Costa would not only revolutionize the Brazilian music scene, but become an icon for an entire generation, especially women.
