Globo Presents Intimate Documentary and Series Honoring Preta Gil

Using the singer's own footage plus close testimony, the releases revisit her multi-year cancer fight with episodes released weekly through August 8.

Overview

  • TV Globo aired the documentary Preta — Eu não ando só on Monday while Globoplay released the first episode of the four-part series Meu nome é Preta, with new episodes set for July 27, August 3 and August 8.
  • Both projects are built largely from recordings Preta made herself and from videos and interviews supplied by family and friends, giving viewers direct access to her treatment, hospital stays and daily life during 2023–2025.
  • Coverage and the films trace Preta's medical journey, noting her 2023 diagnosis of intestinal/colorectal cancer, surgeries and later experimental therapies in the United States that preceded her death on July 20, 2025.
  • Family members and dozens of celebrities appear on camera, and recent disclosures in the coverage include Nara Gil saying she previously had intestinal cancer and friend Gominho describing his ongoing grief and close caregiving role.
  • Public commemorations are running alongside the broadcasts, including a free open-air screening in Salvador with live music, and the series' final episode will arrive on August 8, the date of Preta's birthday.
