Brasilian World Cup Winners dazzle in Cannes
Harrison Ford is back on fine action form in his new thriller Firewall

Brasilian stars from the legendary 1994 World Cup winning team took part in a 5-a-side football tournament at the 59th International Festival De Cannes today. The Brasilian team featuring Bebeto, Dunga and Taffarel played an All Star team boasting A-List celebrity faces from the worlds of film, television and music.

Brasilian football teams play the beautiful game in the same flamboyant style that Brasilians live their lives and the May 22nd event was designed to celebrate all it is that makes Brasil so enchanting, passionate, spiritual and undeniable both on and off the pitch.

Sagatiba - Brasilian producers of the first premium cachaça - created the event to tie-in with the exclusive first presentation in Cannes of footage from the forthcoming documentary 'Pure Spirit of Brasil'. Produced by 02 Filmes - the production company behind Fernando Mereilles 'City of God' - the one-hour documentary was shot in 4 Brasilian cities - Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Florianópolis - and captures the true essence of Brasil and, of course, Brasilians.

'Pure Spirit of Brasil' is part of a series of Sagatiba initiatives which will capture the flavour of Brasil, delving into all areas of Brasilian glory from football and dance, to music and food and will include the film ('Pure Spirit of Brasil'), a book, soundtrack and a series of global events including the 2006 Cannes football tournament.

Following the match Sagatiba presented exclusive footage from 'Pure Spirit of Brasil' at a private party featuring a live performance from the legendary Brasilian singer Jorge Ben Jor with caipirinha's and dancing aplenty!
