The 3 Blood Brothers is about three brothers who performed a very important role in the social, politic and artistic history of Brazil. They were: Betinho, a social scientist who founded the Campaign Against the Hunger and Poverty; Henfil, a cartoonist who fought hard to bring back the people who were exiled during the dictatorship and to establish the direct elections here in Brazil; and Chico Mario, a musician and composer who always defended the recognition of Brazilian musics quality and produced songs against the torture in Brazil during the dictatorship period. These three brothers were aware of the importance of defending the human rights and they put all their efforts to achieve their goals. They were hemophiliacs and got contaminated by the AIDS virus through blood transfusion. This makes the three of them the symbol against the AIDS in Brazil. Although they have already died, their fight will never die. The fact that Brazil nowadays is seen as a world reference in combating AIDS has a lot to do with their pioneerism in this cause.
