"The Gracies and the Birth of Vale Tudo" documentary



Filmmaker Victor Cesar Bota was fascinated by a family that adapted a very primitive style of living to achieve a high lifestyle. In the United States, he discovered most people thought Mixed Martial Arts was brand new, when actually it had existed in Brazil for more than 70 years and during all of that time was almost completely dominated by a single family, the Gracies.
