Chape – Memórias do Oeste
The Associação Chapecoense de Futebol is the result of the collective spirit of an entire region — the pride of a people who built one of the most beautiful stories in Brazilian sports. Drawing on the memories of former players, founders, supporters, and historians, the film revisits the 1970s, marked by the club’s first state championship title, its entry into the national league, and the disputes that culminated in the controversial removal of the two-time championship title in court in 1978. Between pain and glory, the documentary recovers the history of the region and reveals the strength of a people who found in football a way to reaffirm their existence and identity.
