Every week, Univer Vídeo stops by Rádio Aleluia to recommend what to watch. On Friday, November 6, Juliana Bonacina, from Univer Vídeo, spoke with Bishop Renato Cardoso and brought three picks: an award-winning classic, a free documentary and a new collection for those following Ben-Hur. The full program is in the video further below.

Coração Valente, a classic about courage

The release of the week was Coração Valente, which arrived on the platform on Friday night. The film won five Oscar categories, stars Mel Gibson and tells the story of William Wallace, a Scotsman who grows up in a village ruled by England, under a harsh king.

At first, Wallace only wants to live out his great love in a simple life in the countryside. When that is taken from him, a desire for revenge is born in him. Little by little, he understands that he must fight for the freedom of an entire people. Whether he succeeds, you find out by watching.

For Juliana, the film is in the catalog because it is inspiring: it speaks of strength, courage and a man who decides to do something noble with his own life for the sake of other lives. She highlighted a line from the film: "Every man dies, but not every man really lives".

Bishop Renato addressed the men in particular. In his view, anyone who wants to recover values such as honor, courage and strength will feel challenged to look at himself. "Of course you are not going to go around with a sword in your hand," he joked. The point is the principles the film promotes.

Conteúdo Que Faz Bem, the 10th anniversary documentary

The second pick is free. Conteúdo Que Faz Bem is a 27-minute documentary that brings together five stories of people whose lives were transformed by God, with Univer Vídeo as the channel that built that bridge. Among them are an Indigenous community in Roraima, where almost no one has internet access, a former thief in Florianópolis, a story in Valencia, Spain, and a woman in London who had been controlled by pornography.

Anyone can watch it at univervideo.com, even without a subscription. The recommendation is to watch it and then share it with someone. The full documentary is also on YouTube:

The Ben-Hur, A Série collection

The last pick was for those following Univer Vídeo's biggest production of the decade. Inside the platform, the Ben-Hur, A Série collection brings everything about the series together in one place:

  • The episodes, which reached episode 20 that Friday;
  • The podcasts, which explain the messages behind the scenes;
  • The complete soundtrack of the series;
  • A music video filmed on the Ben-Hur set, with Paulo César Baruk and Isaías Saad, among others;
  • Unreleased extra scenes, left out of the episodes and now available in the collection.

Juliana also recalled the shipwreck scene, filmed in a tank more than 15 meters deep. The details are in the post Ben-Hur, A Série: behind the scenes of the shipwreck.

In the video comments, one listener summed up what the platform means to her: "Since the pandemic I can't be without Univer Vídeo. It is more than a streaming platform. It is an essential service." Another viewer left a heads-up for anyone about to watch Coração Valente: "You have to be ready, because it is almost 3 hours long. His persistence for freedom until the end is a little reminiscent of the Lord's suffering."
