This film
is loosely based upon the true story of Joao Francisco
dos Santos (1900-1976), AKA Madame Sata. His stage name
was reportedly inspired by the 1930 film, 'Madam Satan',
directed by Cecil B. Demille.
Set mostly in the late 1920s and early 1930s, this is
the true story of a flamboyant transvestite cabaret
performer, street fighter, cook, prostitute, killer
and outlaw, Joao Francisco dos Santos (Ramos), AKA Madame
Sata, who became one of the most famous personalities
in the coloyrful but seedy Lapa district of Rio de Janeiro,
eventually spending 28 of the 33 years between 1932
and 1965 in prison. The Lapa quarter was the home of
many African-Brazilians (like dos Santos) who were descended
from slaves freed in 1888. |
