From the moment Dona Lindu gave birth to her seventh son, until his appearance as a union leader in the 70s, Lula´s personal and professional path underwent deep transformation. From the backland to the city, Lula witnessed situations of extreme poverty and cruelty, and also the integrity and compassion of his mother. As a child living in poor conditions, worsened by a violent, hard-drinking father, little Lula went to school, sold fruit on the street and confronted his father. Later in São Paulo, like any young man, he went to movies, dances, and started dating. He graduated from professional school to work as a lathe mechanical for the automotive industry. He went though intense personal and professional transformation, from the loss of his first wife and son, to the exciting speech at the fully packed stadium in Vila Euclides.
