Portuguese language content on Hulu Plus

[Adrian Lesher]

I searched Hulu Plus and found the following Portuguese language shows and movies (I will put together something similar for Netflix):

Brazilian

A Fabrica - "Visiting day. Lindalva prepares food to take it to her son who is in jail. Metruti, Lindalva's son, shaves and wears the best clothes to welcome his mother. Today is a very special day and he really needs to make a phone call. His mother is taking a risk, she's willing to smuggle a cell phone for him into the penitentiary."

PBS Indies | On Wheels Brasil - "Following the lives of people that push, pull, or pedal some kind of vehicle to earn their living on Brazils city streets, On Wheels Brasil establishes a relationship between the wheels movement and the inconstancy of life." http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/content/pbs-indies-s4-e17-wheels-brasil, http://www.hulu.com/watch/280055

Brihante F.C. (series) - This is a series co-produced by Nickelodeon Brasil and TV Brasil. According to Wikipedia, it's set in Minas Gerais, and is about a group of teenage girls who form a soccer team. http://www.hulu.com/brilhante-fc,  http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilhante_F.C. 

Threedom (Descolados) - This is a Brazilian MTV series. "Halfway to adulthood, three complete strangers work hard, and party harder in the middle of São Paulo." http://www.dramafever.com/drama/4245/Threedom/ (It looks like you can stream it at this site as well), http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descolados, http://www.hulu.com/threedom 

Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro) http://www.hulu.com/watch/215808

Wasteland  (Lixo Extraordinário) -  "Top-selling contemporary artist Vik Muniz takes us on an emotional journey from Jardim Gramacho, the world's largest landfill on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, to the heights of international art stardom. Vik collaborates with the brilliant catadores, pickers of recyclable materials, true Shakespearean characters who live and work in the garbage quoting Machiavelli and showing us how to recycle ourselves." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1268204/, http://www.hulu.com/watch/397079

Astral City: A Spiritual Journey (Nosso Lar) - "The film is an adaptation of the 1944 book of the same name, said to be dictated by the spirit Andre Luiz and psychographed by Chico Xavier, Brazil's best-known and respected medium, having channeled more than 400 books.[4] The book is considered a great classic of spiritist literature. Engaging the reader from a first-person narrative, Andre Luiz delivers his impressions of the spirit world he encounters after his death." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astral_City:_A_Spiritual_Journey,  http://www.hulu.com/watch/364775

Only When I Dance  ( Vida Ballet) - "Defying the idea that ballet is an art form steeped in the history of the wealthy white elite, this documentary captures the dreams of two black children from the Favela in Brazil, who, despite constant prejudice and doubt, are both determined to beat the odds and follow their dreams to use dancing as an escape rarely found in their tough day to day lives." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1393744/, http://www.hulu.com/watch/235714

The Tenants (Os Inquilinos) - "[W]hen three young criminals move in next door, a bunker mentality sets in and Valter soon discovers he is not the only one perversely affected by the mounting chaos of a city under siege, or the unsettling presence of his new neighbors. Building tension throughout with stylish sequences that blend reality and fevered imagination, Sérgio Bianchi’s gripping domestic thriller offers a shrewd portrait of the social and psychological impact of urban violence, depicting a community beset yet also aroused by a permeating atmosphere of destruction." http://catalogue.globalfilm.org/the-tenants-os-inquilinos.html, http://www.hulu.com/watch/429111

The Ultimate FIghter, Brazil - "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil is an installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)-produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Fighter:_Brazil, http://www.hulu.com/watch/499191

Portuguese

Ossos  -  "The film is set in "Estrela d'Africa", Fontainhas district of Lisbon, where disadvantaged dwellers and immigrants from former Portuguese colonies in Africa live desperate lives.
The story's focus is on a young girl and her lover who become parents of an unwanted baby. Their ambiguous tendencies keep this downbeat story moving around the shanty town. The director's ascetic style and this district's faded cityscape emphasize the depressing tone of the film."   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossos,  http://www.hulu.com/watch/230502

In Vanda's Room (No Quarto da Vanda) - "The film follows the daily life of Vanda Duarte, a heroin addict, in the shanty outskirts of Lisbon. The film's focus is also on the community of the district and its townscape. No Quarto da Vanda is a kind of sequel to the drama film Ossos (1997) in which Vanda Duarte plays as an actress." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Vanda's_Room, http://www.hulu.com/watch/238252

Collosal Youth  (Juventude em Marcha) - "The film was shot on DV in long, static takes and mixes documentary and fiction storytelling. The third feature by Costa set in Lisbon's Fontainhas neighborhood (after In Vanda's Room and Bones), Colossal Youth is a meditation on the aftermath of the Carnation Revolution and its consequences for Portugal's poverty-stricken Cape Verdean immigrants." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Youth_(film),
