The series "Sou Corinthians" by Globo TV in Brazil is a must-see for not only diehard fans of the "Poderoso Timão" like myself, but also for all football enthusiasts who see the sport as something much bigger than just numbers.
The series beautifully depicts in four very well-paced and well-produced episodes the unique relationship between Corinthians and its devotees focusing on different periods of the club, from the end of their 23-year drought in 1977 to their undisputed FIFA Club World Cup title in 2012 in Japan, always exhaling passion from all interviewees, those being the club's most important players in history or simply those anonymous fans who live in the poorest neighbourhoods in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.
The devotion of their fans even during the club's darkest days is impressive, and the way that impacts the players is something that only happens with an institution like Corinthians! Simply amazing! VAI CORINTHIANS!
