...tournament stood as a good indicator for the young Crimson team of where it stands after a fairly successful fall season that included many highlights. One such standout effort came at the end of the season when sophomore Alistair Felton and freshman Andy Nguyen won the ITA Northeast Regional doubles championship.

With a secondary billing that goes "You know the man, but you don't know his story," the film vaults through the episodes that marked Lula's early years and his remarkable rise from poor to powerful. Starting in the scrubland of the northeast, where he was born one of eight kids, it follows him to São Paulo, where he suffered at the hands of an abusive and alcoholic father. It shows him as a boy selling fruit and shining shoes for pennies and then struggling through technical college and winning...
