Lula, o Filho do Brasil is a 2009 Brazilian biographical drama about Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, directed by Fábio Barreto and based on Denise Paraná's book of the same name. Its title, meaning Lula, Son of Brazil, became widely recognized beyond the film itself because of Lula's long political career. Online, the spoken phrase has been clipped into a short soundboard staple, shared in political discussions, edits and ironic tributes where naming him in full dramatic style is the joke or the point being made.
