But who was left out of the interview? See the list below.

Culler’s ex-wife, now known as Rosan Marta, appears in the series only in archival footage and old interviews. In one, a woman from Alagoas, from the small town of Canapi, recounts the religious animal sacrifices that took place at the couple’s official residence in Brasilia, Casa da Dinda, during his presidency.

“He kills chickens, cows, cows. There was a basement in Casa da Dinda, and he stayed there for three days in isolation, as if to sanctify himself. He believed that by doing so, the evil that people sent him would return,” she said in an interview with Renata Ceriveri.

Along with her then-husband, Alexandre Flota, the actress was one of the key names in Fernando Collor’s presidential campaign. “Hunter of maharajas” features several advertising pieces and campaign programs featuring artists, one of which even interviews voters. According to Flota, the person who sought out the couple was Renan Calheiros of the presidential candidate’s political group.”We were shocked by the melodrama,” the actor said.

“Folks, only great people can become great politicians,” she said in a video at the time. “And Koller is a great man. He has dignity and education. He is educated, serious and honest. He is a well-born man and does not need the people’s money.”

Zelia, who became Koror’s Minister of Finance at the age of 36, was responsible for the so-called “Koror Plan,” which aimed to curb the hyperinflation of the time by reducing the amount of money in circulation and forcing prices down. The measure consisted of prohibiting withdrawals from accounts (current or savings) in amounts exceeding 50,000 new Escudos.

This plan causes an uproar across the country, and the series depicts how Zelia became the contact. Even the minister’s private life became a hot topic, causing a scandal within the government. Her romantic relationship with Justice Minister Bernardo Cabral helped overthrow her, interviewees said.

The economist has been living in New York since she started dating comedian Chico Anisio. After the separation, she remains in the city and works as a consultant.

As the series shows, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva lost in a head-to-head contest with Collor in the second round of the 1989 elections, even though he had a good chance of winning in the final stages. Two factors prevailed. First, Miriam Cordeiro, the mother of Lula’s eldest daughter Lulian, appeared on Mr. Koller’s campaign program. On television, she said that union leaders wanted her to have an abortion. The PT members’ camp ended up denying the story alongside the girl on national television.

The second factor was the recap of the previous presidential debate aired on Jornal Nacional, which increased screen time for Mr. Koller and gave viewers the impression that the “Maharajah Hunter” had “won” the televised debate. Ali Kamel, former director of journalism at TV Globo, himself commented in the series that the episode was a learning experience for the network, ensuring that discussions were not edited out.

Renan, the current senator for the MDB of Alagoas state, is a member of Fernando Collor’s political group and was one of the main supporters of the “Maharaja Hunter” candidate. When he was elected, Mr. Renan was part of the so-called “Republic of Alagoas”, a group made up of the president’s main names.

However, in 1990, when the presidential and state elections were held in different years, the two began to separate due to the state government. He and Gerardo Brujoes (who had received financial support from PC Farias, treasurer of the Collor camp) competed, and the second one won. Renan did not tolerate the PC’s efforts to obtain presidential approval and resigned from his position as government leader in parliament. Since then, he has fallen out with the president and has become one of the voices accusing Fernando of being involved in PC Farias’ madness.

The Rio native, who served as justice minister under Fernando Collor, is now 93 and considered one of Brazil’s most respected lawyers. Although he was married, his romance with Zelia was considered a scandal by the government. At that time, it was leaked to the media that the two danced to the famous song “Besame Mucho” at her birthday party.

Mr. Cabral was exhausted by the litigation and had to resign. Mr. Zeria was fired shortly thereafter.
