In THIS IS NOT YOUR LIFE, Jorge Furtado randomly chooses a Brazilian woman, Noeli Cavalheiro, and lets her tell the world her story.

Noeli is not extraordinary. Raised by godparents after her father's death, she raided neighbors' tangerine orchards and played at giving birth with her girl-friends. She had boyfriends and then married a black man, displeasing those around her. Noeli could be just another demographic statistic, but Furtado's point is that "Numbers have no name, people have a name. Every one has." For viewers who might find this troubling, Furtado assures them that there is no need to worry - this is not your life.
