The project started back in 2018 when Andre Matos himself authorized recording interviews where he would talk about his life and the different phases of his career. Directed by Anderson Bellini and produced and scripted by Thiago Rahal Mauro, the document had its starting point in a long interview where Andre Matos spoke for over 5 hours about all sorts of different subjects. With his sudden passing in 2019, the family allowed the documentary team to have access to all this as well as hundreds of other materials from his personal archives so that the project could be finalized.

Launching and release formats are still to be defined and are under negotiations.

Among the over 100 people that were interviewed for this documentary, we can highlight worldwide renowned musicians such as Kai Hansen (Helloween), Blaze Bayley (of Iron Maiden fame), Alex Holzwarth (Rhapsody e session drummer for Angra’s first album), Sascha Paeth (producer and Andre Matos’s partner on the Virgo project), Rafael Bittencourt (Angra), Luis Mariutti (Shaman, ex-Angra), Andre Bastos (Angra’s founding member), Andre “Zaza” Hernandes (guitarist from Andre Matos’s solo band and early Angra times), Kiko Loureiro (ex-Angra and Megadeth), Felipe Machado (Viper), Yves Passarell (Capital Inicial, ex-Viper), Eloy Casagrande (Sepultura), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), João Gordo (Ratos de Porão), Tatola, Gastão Moreira, Paulo Baron, Amanda Somerville, Robertinho de Recife, and the list goes on and on.
