Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta First Look From Netflix

What insights can be gleaned from an artist’s private life? Netflix has released the trailer for Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta, premiering on March 6. The documentary reveals Anitta’s intimacy and vulnerability, beyond her powerful public image as a globally successful singer.

Everyone knows Anitta. Not so for Larissa de Macedo Machado. That’s her actual name — and a side of her she’s kept away from the cameras.

While Anitta reaches ever-greater heights, Larissa has to grapple with the challenges of success. Her journey toward self-discovery is presented from the perspective of a crush from her youth, who wishes to introduce the real Larissa to the world.

The documentary also features iconic moments from the “girl from Rio” career, including scenes from Rio’s Carnival, her unprecedented wins at international awards shows, her hit “Envolver” reaching the top of global charts, and her Coachella set.

Netflix‘s Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta was directed by João Wainer and Pedro Cantelmo, with a screenplay by Maria Ribeiro. Ginga Pictures’ Felipe Britto and Melanie Chapaval Lebensztajn served as executive producers.

A global entertainment pioneer, Ginga Pictures is an American production studio founded by Brazilian entrepreneurs. The studio aims to connect Brazil and Brazilians with the rest of the world, promoting international collaborations and giving voice to powerful new stories from around the world.

In 2022, Ginga expanded to producing film and TV shows, creating departments dedicated to short-form content, such as commercials and videos, as well as original content for movies and shows. Several original projects are in development, as they work to strengthen their presence on streaming platforms.

The company reached new heights when it became the first Brazilian-led production studio to win an MTV Video Music Award (VMA) with the video for Anitta‘s “Funk Rave.” Ginga works with a wide range of clients, including global brands such as Coca-Cola, Ambev, Reckitt, Puma, Volvo and Unilever.
