WITCHES, SAINTS, AND BREWERS

SYNOPSIS

Our beer expert Cilene Saorin and our beer enthusiast Laíza Dantas arrive in Várzea Paulista to prove that it was women who pioneered beer production and, for that reason, were sidelined and burned at the stake throughout history. At Marta's bar, in front of a soccer field, along with our guest and women's soccer coach Gerlândia de Oliveira, the girls roll the ball around bringing witches, saints and brewers into the game. It feels like the final episode, but this is just the beginning of the season!

GUEST

Maria Gerlândia de Oliveira: As a player and coach, she runs a soccer school where she works on education and inclusion through sport.
