This should be done very quickly - it'll appear on our blog ASAP. I'm not
sure if the Vimeo password will work worldwide or not, but we'll try for

BOB SPIT - WE DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE is a stop-motion animation that mixes
documentary, comedy and road-movie. It tells the story of Bob Spit, an old
punk trying to escape from a post-apocalyptic desert that is actually, a
purgatory inside the mind of his creator, Angeli, a cartoonist going
through a creative crisis.The story is freely inspired by the life and work
of one of the most celebrated Brazilian cartoonists of all times, Angeli,
who became famous in the 70s by releasing political cartoons in the midst
of Brazil’s military dictatorship. In the 80s, he migrated to daily strips,
showing an acid sense of humor to represent Brazil’s society, day-to-day
life and customs. Angeli had editorial success with his monthly magazine
“Chiclete com Banana”, which sold over 120 thousand copies per edition.
During his time, the cartoonist has created some of his most famous
characters: the bohemian diva Rê Bordosa, the hippie pair Wood & Stock,
and the punk Bob Spit.
