this is the one where Carlos is the good guy?
I don't know the real story...haven't finished it yet
you know me I don't believe anything...documentaries are the best form of propaganda

Figured some was embellished and some was pure lies/spin

interesting story nonetheless...I didn't know much about the lineage

They do paint Carlos as a good guy I think...so many names I got kinda confused as to who is who

helio got kicked and KOed and never fought again...that is one thing I learned...not sure if true

neither of them talk about how they jumped a guy and beat him mercilessly with a cash box.

I have a DVD of this... watched it long ago but I don't have a dvd player now.

it shows Rolls Gracie who they say was the best Gracie. Rickson had to learn from him.

And I remember showing young Renzo's crazy ass having fights in his front yard, getting his ear bitten off
