Brazil is one of the four new global super powers. Half a continent in size & a potent mix of races, religions & cultures, of unexplored wildernesses & bustling modern cities, it is also one of the few countries Michael Palin has never fully travelled. In a new series for BBC1
- his first for five years
- he explores in his inimitable way this vast & disparate nation. From the Venezuelan border & the forests of the Lost World, he follows Teddy Roosevelt's disastrous expedition of 1914. Journeys by river, by plane, by train & by road allow him to reach a kaleidoscopic mix of peoples: the indigenous hunter-gatherers of the interior, the descendents of African slaves with their vibrant culture, the large community of German descent who celebrate their patrimony at the biggest beer festival outside Munich, & the wealthy guachas of the Pantanal. His journey ends at the border with Uruguay & the spectacular Iguacu Falls. Read by Michael Palin
