How it feels

This documentary traces the history of the Geral, a massive standing-room section in Rio's Maracanã stadium that was removed in 2005. It shows how this area became a democratic and passionate space for soccer fans from all walks of life. The film interviews former regulars and uses archive footage to recall the rituals and camaraderie that were lost.

What happens

Geraldinos é um documentário brasileiro de Pedro Asbeg e Renato Martins, que conta a história da Geral do Maracanã, carinhosamente conhecida como "o espaço mais democrático do futebol carioca", que foi extinta em 2005. O termo Geraldinos, usado como título, foi criado pelo radialista Washington Rodrigues para referir-se aos torcedores que assistiam aos jogos na Geral do Maracanã. O filme fez sua estreia mundial no Festival Internacional de Documentários "É Tudo Verdade" de 2015, sendo exibido no dia 15 de abril, em São Paulo, e nos dias 16 e 18 do mesmo mês, no Rio de Janeiro.
