The dream of Brazilian independence, under Dom Pedro I, is expressed in the cry of "Freedom or Death" (O Grito de Independencia ou Morte), since cries were the only way to rally up support against colonial oppression. Dom Pedro I (played by Tarcisio Meira) heads Brazil's break from his own parent's homeland, Portugal. A classic Brazilian historical costume drama epic.

| Curiosities | The title ("Independence or Death!" in Portuguese) is the cry which is assumed to be said by the young prince (of Portugal) Pedro de Alcântara - son of D. João VI - when he decided to set Brazil free from Portugal. After the independence, the prince became Pedro I, emperor of Brazil. |
| Bloopers | While Pedro and somebody else strolls in a park, the roof of a VW bus rushing by is clearly seen over the hedges |
