Prime Video’s ‘Tremembé’ Sends Elize Matsunaga Doc Back Into Netflix’s Top 10

Recent reports clarify a viral clip of Elize thanking supporters was recorded in 2022 rather than in response to the series.

Overview

  • Netflix’s 2021 four-episode documentary about Elize Matsunaga re-entered Brazil’s Top 10 after the Prime Video drama went viral, Terra reports.
  • The new series has renewed national attention to the 2012 killing of Yoki executive Marcos Kitano Matsunaga, a crime for which Elize was convicted.
  • Terra notes that a widely shared video of Elize saying she is having a second chance is from her 2022 conditional release and not tied to Tremembé’s reception.
  • The resurfaced clip was posted on X by Gazeta Brasil in May 2022 and shows Elize thanking supporters and reflecting on the irreversibility of her actions.
  • Tremembé features a character based on Elize played by Carol Garcia and even references the Netflix documentary within its fictional narrative.
