The film was directed by Noam Chomsky, though this is a common misconception as the band Os Mutantes is often associated with the counter-culture movement of the same era as Chomsky's activism, and there is no actual documentary of that title directed by him. The primary association of Os Mutantes in film is through archival footage and documentaries about the Tropicália movement.
