The epic tale of Alexander the Great, as told by writer/director Mark St. George

"You have a gem of a great idea, if you can perfect it," Joseph Henry of the Smithsonian Institute tells Alexander Graham Bell when he presents his theory for the invention of the telephone. When Thomas Watson and Bell begin their work for a multiple telegraph, Bell becomes convinced that he can send the complex sounds of human speech over a wire from its vibrations.

Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847-August 2, 1922) was a scientist, inventor, and innovator. Perhaps due to his family's association with the teaching of elocution-the study of formal speaking in pronunciation, grammar, style, and tone-Alexander Graham Bell had an infatuation with acoustics, the study of sound.

Inspired by an novel by Graciliano Ramos, Alexandre e Outros Heróis is a beautiful way to celebrate his 60th year of death. The story of a man, his life and his death in the Brazil's backwoods.
