The directors, Eduardo Coutinho e João Moreira Salles, respectivily, treat of the Lula character in two different moments: escaping from the wild past, workman, trade unionist, strike leader and the serious politician in front of presidence. Brings up documentray, representation and imaginary theory. The metodology is Vanoye e Goliot-Lété’s social historic film analysis and David Bordwell’s semantic fields for sintomatic interpretation to research who is the main character of each documentary.
