José Santa Camarão once loomed like a myth in Portuguese boxing-a giant in stature and spirit, a huge man who never hurt a fly. History forgot him, perhaps because he never became world champion, only ever #2. Decades later, artist Xavier Almeida unearths his story, reviving the almost-legend who slipped through the cracks of national memory. Documentary inspired both by work of Almeida and life of José Santa.
